Keirin – Bicycle Racing in Japan
Posted on | July 15, 2007 | 1 Comment
For the first time I went to see Keirin, Japanese bicycle racing, for the first time since I got to Japan. There is stadium just near my house (15 minutes by train).
It works just like horse racing in terms of betting. I didn’t win anything, but on of my friends, Taka, won 850 on 100 yen. But unfortunately that didn’t even cover the other tickets and beer that he bought!
The photo is not very clear as it was night and pouring with rain. Next time I will bring the good camera.

Great site!
I’m heading to Japan next monday for some cycle touring. I’ve read that bikes are expensive to buy and rent over there. I’m not flying mine over as it’s on it’s last legs anyway.
It would be great to know what how many yen an average touring bike would be and whether there will be 1 or more bike shops in a place such as Nagano or Matsumoto.
many thanks if you can send me any advice
