## Area Map Update for Ichikawa Park MTB Field
We are pleased to announce that the Ichikawa Park MTB Field has updated its area map in conjunction with the progress of course maintenance. Two new long courses have been added, expanding the field into a place where beginners can fully enjoy themselves and further hone safe skills for mountain riding.
This update to the area map was made possible by the cooperation of our members who regularly use and maintain the field.
## From Ichikawa Park MTB Field to the Vast Trail Network in Surrounding Mountains
The Ichikawa Park MTB Field has been developed as a base field where riders can safely learn the basics of mountain biking and step up progressively.
Furthermore, a trail network spanning approximately 50km across the entire Kofu Basin spreads out in the surrounding mountain areas. This is one of the largest scales in Japan, and the existence of a vast trail network surrounding a base field constitutes the ideal structure for a mountain biking environment. Such environments are established everywhere in other developed countries.
However, in Japan, due to the complexity and difficulty of obtaining permits and coordinating mountain trails, there are not many examples where an environment capable of phased development is maintained. Under such circumstances, we at Yamamoribito have developed a vast field environment where riders can enjoy everything integrally, from basic practice to full-scale trail riding.
Furthermore, we have long engaged in policy advocacy activities to roll out this system nationwide, ensuring we can leave behind an environment where the next generation can freely experience the wonderful historical and cultural heritage of Japan's mountainous and rural areas through MTB.
After mastering the basics of mountain biking at the Ichikawa Park MTB Field, we hope you will also experience the vast trail network spreading across the Kofu Basin through member registration or participating in guided tours. You can enjoy a field of a scale rare in Japan while stepping up progressively.
Moving forward, while leveraging the local natural environment, we will continue to maintain and improve the field together with users. We will strive to create a model for a sustainable mountain biking environment in Japan, dedicating ourselves to ensuring that MTB and mountain trails are firmly positioned within Japan's policies and systems.
