WONDER HOPPER vol.2
There are beautiful landscapes that can only be found in that specific place.
There are natural bounties born from that specific climate and culture.
And there are chefs who are deeply rooted in that land.
“WONDER HOPPER “
It is a day to see and taste the land,
feel the breeze, soak in the light, and enjoy a meal.
Let’s gather around the table together.
Let’s pause and enjoy the scenery.
And let’s hop on our bikes
to experience the lands we have yet to see.
Good food, rides, beautiful scenery, and simple, lighthearted conversation. I want to share these things with the many friends who love them. This desire is what took shape as the event called WONDER HOPPER.
Last year, we held the "Vol. 0" in spring and the "Vol. 1" in autumn, starting from Vison, a commercial complex in Taki Town, Taki District, Mie Prefecture. The participants were very satisfied, and we as organizers spent a truly wonderful day as well.
We are planning to hold WONDER HOPPER in three locations in 2024, and the kick-off, WONDER HOPPER vol. 2, will be held next month on Wednesday, February 7th.
The location is Tenryu in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a region loved by many cyclists for its beautiful scenery and rewarding riding routes.

Furthermore, "food" is a crucial part of the WONDER HOPPER experience. For this event, we have invited Mr. Hitoshi Maruyama, a sushi chef based in Hamamatsu City, to provide our dinner. Look forward to not just fish, but also sushi and à la carte dishes featuring vegetables and wild game.
Other details will be provided to registered participants at a later date.
Also, please take a look at this video if you have a moment.
I think you will be able to get a glimpse of what the WONDER HOPPER event is all about.
Lastly, the severity of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred at the beginning of the year is increasing day by day.
Wonder Hopper wanted to see if there was anything we could do, so we have decided to donate a portion of the profit from the participation fees toward disaster relief efforts.
Given the current situation, this is what we concluded after considering what we could do through this event. We hope to plan a charity ride event when the time is right. If any of you have good ideas, please let us know.
