Each rider embarked on the 'Point Get Tour', led by legendary riders, offering breathtaking views of Lake Biwa while deepening connections with fellow motorcycling enthusiasts.

Community Connection and Local Flavor

At the event’s conclusion, participants were treated to a unique local delicacy: clam soup featuring the endemic 'Seta Shijimi' species from Lake Biwa. This culinary delight was paired with insightful local information shared by Nagahama's Mayor, Asami Nobuyoshi. Furthermore, a charitable contribution for environmental conservation around Lake Biwa was presented to the Mayor, reinforcing the rally's commitment to local community engagement.

Engaging Stage Programs

Attendees enjoyed an enriched program on the special stage: environmental advocacy discussions led by Jomon, a sailor attempting to circumnavigate the globe in a traditional wooden boat, and a session on safe riding practices by Reiko Miyoshi and MC Yoshiko Yamaguchi. There's also a live performance by renowned artist Takako Shirai, known as the 'Queen of School Festivals', bringing joy and inspiration to all who attended.

Fostering Interpersonal Connections

Throughout the event, features designed to strengthen female riders' connections were prevalent. A custom photo booth with posing advice from talent Riko Fukuyama attracted many, alongside a gathering for a BBQ that provided a relaxed social atmosphere for riders to bond and share experiences.

Traffic Safety Awareness
