“Fairfield by Marriott”, a hotel brand of Marriott International, operates 29 hotels specializing in lodging across the country, and uses the hotels as a base to offer a style of “traveling through the unknown charms of the region”. I am advocating. The concept of this project is “Let’s explore the unknown of Japan,” and the aim is to have you experience something unique to the region and discover unknown charms from all over the country. This event was also planned to let you experience the charm of the area around Utsunomiya City. This event, where you can ride with Kosuke Takeyama of the
professional cycle road race team Utsunomiya Blitzen, is a 45km flat course, so even beginners can participate. On the first day, a social gathering will be held where Takeyama and those participating in the event can interact with each other. You can have a relaxing chat while enjoying a special dinner menu at the restaurant “Mugi no Rakuen” inside the roadside station “Utsunomiya Romantic Village”. On the day of the cycling event, you will be able to enjoy the pleasant early summer breeze while overlooking the peaceful countryside surrounding Utsunomiya City, and be sure to have a relaxing time.
