You have one day in Kamakura and a motorcycle license in your pocket. Here’s exactly how we’d spend it — this is the route our own crew rides on days off.
10:00 — Pickup at the Garage
Check-in takes about 20 minutes: license check (IDP with Category A if you’re visiting — check yours here), a walk-around of your machine, and a short briefing. These are one-of-one custom choppers on 1990s Sportster bones, so we make sure you and the bike understand each other before you roll out.
Day Ride is ¥22,000–, 10:00 to 18:00. Pick your machine here.
10:30 — Wakamiya-oji to the Coast
Ease out through Kamakura’s old streets, past the great torii of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, and head south. Five minutes later the buildings open up and there it is — the Pacific, and Route 134.
11:00 — Route 134 West: Inamuragasaki & Shichirigahama
This is the stretch that made the road famous. Sagami Bay on your left, Enoshima floating ahead, and on clear days Mt. Fuji stacked behind it. Our crew stops at Shichirigahama every single time — it’s the one frame where the ocean, Enoshima and your machine all fit together. Grab a coffee at one of the surf cafés while you’re at it.
12:30 — Enoshima for Lunch
Cross the causeway onto the island, or keep it simple at the shirasu (whitebait) joints on the mainland side. Rider tip: park at the bottom of the island, not the top — the lanes get narrow fast.
14:00 — The Choice: West or East
- West: Chigasaki and Oiso, where the coast gets emptier and faster. In Chigasaki you’ll find the OCEANBEETLE store — helmets, apparel and bikes from the company behind BEETLE RIDER. Worth the stop. Turn around whenever you’re happy.
- East: Zushi and Hayama — quieter coves, the Imperial villa coastline, and fishing-port backroads on the Miura Peninsula.
Feeling ambitious? Multi-day riders push all the way to Hakone or Fuji.
17:00 — The Golden Hour Run
Whatever you chose, time your return so you’re back on 134 an hour before sunset. The bay turns copper, Fuji goes silhouette, and the shutter of every phone on the beach points at the water — you just get to ride through it.
18:00 — Return
Tank full, stories fuller. We’re four minutes from Kamakura Station (access guide) — grab dinner in town before the train back to Tokyo.
The practical stuff: helmets, gloves and liability insurance included or available as options. Fuel is on you (return full — high-octane, the YELLOW nozzle; there’s a stand two minutes away). Free cancellation until 5 days before. Full rules on the FAQ page.
