This is the second gravel event organized by HOKKAIDO EVENTS with the organizer´s inaugural gravel ride “NISEKO GRAVEL 2021” having been held in summer of 2021.
“We couldn´t be happier with how the NISEKO GRAVEL series is continuing to grow.” Said a spokesperson for HOKKAIDO EVENTS. “The event is a great way to showcase all that Niseko has to offer and we can´t wait to welcome riders back to Niseko for our upcoming ride in September.”
The Niseko area will see the return of the main annual event, NISEKO GRAVEL 2022, on September 4th, 2022. The course will be the longest yet & will bring riders through some of the areas most remote stretches of paved and unpaved roads.

Logo design Competition
Unveiling the new Official logo
Also, the “NISEKO GRAVEL Logo Design Competition” which was held from March 11 to 31, 2022, we had more than 100 entries, the official logo has been chosen to Huy Pham´s work (Hokkaido).
Huy Pham´s comment;
I choose mount Yotei as the representative element of the Niseko area natural beauty, and the bicycle’s tire to represent the
gravel sport aspect.
The logo focuses on composition for impact. Minimum use of features to ensure the recognizability across all media
platforms.
The logo will be used in various places to represent NISEKO GRAVEL. Thank you very much to everyone who applied!

NISEKO GRAVEL Logo design competition
HOKKAIDO EVENTS is pleased to announce the holding of a logo design competition for our gravel ride event “NISEKO GRAVEL”.
Gravel cycling is experiencing a global boom, gravel bikes’ ability to be ridden on all kinds of road surfaces & on light trails has opened up a new world to cyclists. Niseko is an incredible destination for domestic and international gravel cyclists, the NISEKO GRAVEL logo will be representative of both the event and the area’s gravel scene.
About “NISEKO GRAVEL”
NISEKO GRAVEL held its first event in 2021, introducing cyclists from across Japan to the area’s magnificent nature & its seemingly endless supply of gravel roads. The event is a true representation of all that the sport & that Niseko has to offer. A mixed-surface ride taking participants over buttery smooth tarmac, wooded forest roads, remote gravel climbs, scenic farm trails & everything in between. NISEKO GRAVEL offers participants a unique riding experience.
While Japan is covered with mountain roads & developed cycling routes, cyclists will find that much of what the nation has to offer is paved. Many cyclists do not have access to remote stretches of gravel making it hard for the sport to gain traction in Japan. In contrast to much of Japan, Hokkaido is crisscrossed with gravel roads bringing cyclists through remote forests, up mountains, and through mellow farmlands – the terrain in Hokkaido is creating a new “Japanese-style” of gravel riding allowing cyclists to explore the prefecture’s roads regardless of the road surface.
NISEKO GRAVEL was established as both an event for adventure-oriented cyclists to meet like-minded riders & as a way to promote Niseko’s undiscovered gravel scene to cyclists throughout Japan and across the world.
