Introduction

The Shiroishi Cycling Road (Shiroishi KOKOROAD) runs on the bed of the old Chitose Line abandoned in 1973, from Shiroishi-ku toward Kitahiroshima; with the ELFIN Road section it totals about 19.8 km. Lined with cherry trees, parks and flowerbeds, the Sapporo section is cleared of snow in winter for year-round riding.
