Promoting the charm of ‘Kinaka’ and revitalizing
the local community through the cycling event!
Our Vision for HUB24
The central “Kichu” region of Wakayama Prefecture is a place where people, food, culture, and nature are all beautifully intertwined.
These elements collectively form content that is world-class. Through this tournament, we hope that many people, both from within and outside Wakayama Prefecture, will experience Kichu through cycling, and discover, “There’s a place like this,” and “There’s food like this.”
We hope this tournament provides an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the “delicious and interesting things” that Kichu has to offer.

About HUB24
A Cycle Festa held in the heart of Wakayama, “Kichu”
▪️The Charm of HUB24
Set in the Kinaka region of Wakayama Prefecture, encompassing one city and six towns (Gobo City, Mihama Town, Hidaka Town, Yura Town, Inami Town, Minabe Town, and Hidaka River Town), HUB24 offers a unique opportunity to connect with “Wakayama’s great nature” and enjoy “Wakayama’s food” through cycling.
Wakayama Prefecture, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and mountains, is rich in natural beauty. With both mountains and flatlands, you can enjoy the event at your own pace. Individual and group participants are both warmly welcomed!
Additionally, the cycling route has been completely revamped from HUB23. This year, the main stage will be set in “Minabe Town,” known as Japan’s top plum region.
