An experiential event combining tourism and gaming while exploring the region by bicycle, 'Tamakawa Village Cycle Rogaining x JR Suigun Line Cycle Train,' will be held in Tamakawa Village, Fukushima Prefecture, on Sunday, June 28, 2026.

This event is a 'cycle rogaining' tourism activity where participants visit various checkpoints within the village within a time limit to compete for points. Using a map, participants can freely design their routes while enjoying the unique landscapes and local spots of Tamakawa Village.

In response to feedback from past participants, the recreational elements have been further enhanced this year. The content is designed to be widely enjoyable for everyone, from beginners to experienced cyclists.

Additionally, participants can utilize the 'JR Suigun Line Cycle Train,' which allows them to bring their bicycles directly onto the train from Koriyama Station without disassembly. As a new cycle tourism experience utilizing public transportation, the event is broadly seeking participants from both within and outside the prefecture.
