Inspired by Japanese Manga (Comics) and brought to life through a brand new storytelling race-pack, this five day race begins and ends in Tokyo and takes full advantage of Japan’s legendary rail network. You will follow the story of Lupine Rail driver Mika as she sets out to re-live her childhood adventures with her grandfather Ryōma, tracing a path through cities, mountains and quiet corners of Japan.
Get to know Mika and Ryōma in our prologue pages below...
Along the way, you will have a choice of over a dozen checkpoints scattered across the country, each with a points value based on its difficulty. The route is up to you and the racer with the most points at the finish will be crowned the winner.
This country wide treasure hunt format rewards strategy and exploration over pure speed. Some checkpoints lie in Japan’s most iconic locations while others will draw you into hidden gems. Whether you are chasing victory or just soaking up the ride, the journey will be as memorable as the destination.
