📺 A special TV program about the Amaichi Gran Fondo will air on TV Kumamoto (TKU)!

Last winter, the cycling event “Around Amakusa! Amaichi Gran Fondo” took place across the entire Amakusa area.
Cyclists from around the country raced along Amakusa’s stunning routes, and the excitement of that ride is now being broadcast as a TV program! 🚴‍♂️💨

The program will show participants cutting through the wind, the warm hospitality at aid stations, and, above all, plenty of footage of the beautiful coastline of our town, Reihoku.

This is a must-see for those who actually took part, those who cheered along the route, and anyone who dreams of riding here someday.
Please tune in and feel the breeze of Amakusa and Reihoku through your screen!
