Yumezi’s Castle KOM is a twisty, two-part climb that brings riders from the countryside to the inner walls of the Castle area.
The segment begins on flat roads, then crosses a bridge and climbs into the outer part of the Castle town. Grab a bit of rest as the road flattens for ~400m, then the second effort begins as you turn and climb toward the main Castle area.
Once you reach the top you’ll turn left and have ~350 meters of flat road to the finish line.
Note: while the average gradient is 2.1%, climbs here are actually significantly steeper, since the overall segment includes approximately 1150m of flattish road.
