Ogata-mura Solar Sports Line

 

 

Ogata-mura Village is located in the northern part of Japan, 600km from Tokyo. It was created 30 years ago by land reclamation from Lake Hachiro-gata which used to be the second largest lake in Japan. The size is 17,000 hectares, and all the land is below sea level. At present, about 3,400 villagers have been making great effort to develop a new style of agricultural society in order to be a model agricultural village.

 


 

 

 

The facility, which was completed in March, 1994, is flat and straight, approximately 31km long and 7m wide and has no intersections with public roads. It is available for various sports training and events. This is the first course officially approved by the International Solar Car Federation (April, 1994).
