The facility features a 400-meter wooden velodrome originally constructed for major international track cycling competitions.
The road race course contains extreme gradients of up to 10% in certain sections, testing the endurance of professional cyclists.
The site was historically developed as a comprehensive cycling training center to support the development of Japan’s national cycling team.
The novelty bike area includes bicycles with irregular wheels and unconventional steering mechanisms that challenge standard riding mechanics.
It is one of the few places in Japan that provides access to a professional-grade banked velodrome for amateur riders during specific public sessions.
Cycle Sports Center is a large-scale outdoor cycling theme park located in the Izu Peninsula, featuring a variety of specialized tracks including a 5km international-standard road race course and a 2km mountain bike trail. The park offers diverse cycling experiences ranging from competitive velodrome tracks to novelty amusement bicycles designed for families and casual riders. It houses Japan's only 400-meter wooden indoor velodrome, which serves as a training ground for professional track cyclists. Visitors can choose from over 50 varieties of unique bicycles, including pedal-powered karts and tandem configurations. The facility is situated on a hilly 200-hectare site within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, providing significant elevation changes for road biking enthusiasts. It functions as both a professional sports training facility and a recreational park for the general public.
The high-banked wooden turns of the main velodrome offer a distinct perspective of the track's geometry.
Bring a pair of athletic, closed-toe shoes, as many of the novelty bicycles require efficient pedaling and secure footing.
Check the daily event schedule before arrival, as professional training sessions or race events may restrict access to the main velodrome.
Hydrate frequently, as the expansive outdoor hilly terrain is physically demanding and significantly exposed to sun throughout the day.
Attempting the full 5km road course without prior experience, as the steep inclines and sharp curves are designed for athletic conditioning rather than leisure.
Typically closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, though this may vary during public holidays and peak vacation seasons.
