Jump into the Japanese Heritage Hot Springs from Ancient Mountains

Ishikawa Prefecture, where the event will be held, is located in the central distinct of Japan, and is attractive for its diverse natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Kaga Spa (Onsen) Village, which is the venue for the event, has many of relaxing hot spring; Yamanaka Onsen, Yamashiro Onsen, and Katayamazu Onsen. Yamanaka Onsen, which is the main venue at the start and finish point, is said to have a history of over 1,300 years, and has been used as a hot spring health resort since ancient times. Yamanaka Onsen has retained old local Japanese scenery with hot springs, and the mountain field has beautiful views from primeval beech forests and ridgelines, which is the best location for the first UMTB World Series in Japan. We hope that many runners from Japan and foreign countries will participate in Ishikawa Prefecture, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in January 2024.
