Strava Club Japan launches "Routes of Japan" Collection website

Along the Shimanami Kaido ... the most famous Route of Japan.

I know it is mostly intended as marketing to promote the Strava "community", in collaboration with Cycle Sports magazine (not my favorite ... as they always seem to be promoting what their advertisers are advertising), but this looks like a useful collection of cycling routes around Japan, and one that should grow a lot more useful as more routes are added over time.

In the post on the Strava App that announced this to me, there were links to an interesting route on Kii Peninsula, another one suggesting Route 152 between Hamamatsu and Ueda (Akiba Kaido ... with some odd detours to adjacent valleys), and a third through the mountains of Shikoku East<->West. I can attest that Akiba Kaido is indeed a great route, without the detours, and the others look worth trying!  I hope they continue to develop it (and add English language support for visitors from abroad). 

Routes of Japan is the site.
