My favorite moment is spreading out a map at a roadside station and choosing the next road. Shinshu is packed with exactly that kind of luxury, with the Alps' ridgeline changing expression every time you cross a pass. Hearing '30 selections' makes me want to load up my gear and go ride right now. The air of a summer highland is a reward only for those who actually rode there.

Shinshu means Nagano, right? Is it manageable for a beginner too?

Temperature drops sharply as elevation rises, so don't forget cold-weather gear.

Even with 30 picks, doesn't it just end up being the same old classics anyway?

Shinshu's the kind of place where even the classic routes feel great every single time you ride them.

Shinshu never disappoints, the Venus Line alone takes the crown.
