Exciting Prize Announcement!

Thank you for the many entries!

The entry deadline for Niseko Classic 2025 is just one week away!

Today, we’re excited to introduce one of the special prizes awarded to top finishers:

We’re giving away premium rice that’s currently making headlines in Japan!

The prize rice is Rankoshi-rice "Yumepirika".

Cultivated in the fertile lands along the Shiribetsu River — awarded “Japan’s Cleanest River” — and nourished by mineral-rich spring water from the majestic Niseko mountain range, this "Yumepirika" rice is truly exceptional, packed with the blessings of nature!

And this year is extra special!

To commemorate the 2026 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships Final, which will be held in Niseko — the first time ever in Asia — we’re introducing:

◆ Japan's first-ever team relay event on public roads!

◆ The long-awaited return of the Time Trial after two years!

◆ The 140km/80km Road Race course will be run in reverse!

Niseko Classic 2025 is bringing all-new challenges and excitement to Niseko this summer.

Be a part of this historic event — we can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
