Join the Exciting BLUE RIDE Motorcycle Touring Event in Honshu 2026!

Discover the Thrill of BLUE RIDE 2026

Mark your calendars! The BLUE RIDE motorcycle touring event, which takes riders along the beautiful coastlines of Honshu, Japan, is set for its second year. Following a successful launch in 2025 that covered Shizuoka and Shimane, riders can now look forward to exhilarating routes through Yamaguchi and the Kanagawa-Tokyo area in 2026.

Event Overview

The event will officially kick off on July 15, 2026, at noon, and the rally will run from October 10 to December 6. Participants can sign up to explore stunning coastal routes and engage with the local landscape like never before.

Yamaguchi will feature courses that lead adventurers along the shores surrounding Bisanohana, the westernmost point of Honshu. Meanwhile, the Kanagawa-Tokyo route will guide riders from the Miura Peninsula to the picturesque Tokyo Bay coastline.

For those interested in participating, be warned: the website will experience heavy traffic right after entries open, so plan accordingly!

What is BLUE RIDE?

BLUE RIDE is not just about the ride; it's about the experience of conquering the coastal landscapes of Honshu. Riders visit designated spots along the route to collect digital stamps, and those who collect the required stamps will be rewarded with a 'Completion Certificate.'

The event aims to promote local tourism, collaborating with municipalities and local businesses to enhance the experience for participants. Riders will enjoy the excitement of meeting fellow motorcycle enthusiasts while exploring unique sites in each region—everything from breathtaking scenery to delightful local cuisine.
