The Oita Urban Classic is a one-day road cycling race held on the street circuit around the Oita Stadium on Kyushu Island, Japan. It is sanctioned by UCI as a category 1.2 race of UCI Asia Tour since 2018.
The Oita Ikoinomichi Criterium is held on the day before the Oita Urban Classic.
The race began in 2014 as a JBCF race Oita Cycle Road Race, and it evolved to the UCI-sanctioned race in 2018. In the 2018 season, it was held in October. In the 2019 season, it was held in August to avoid conflict with the 2019 Rugby World Cup which uses Oita Stadium. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UCI race of the 2020 event was canceled, and the JBCF race was held instead.

Track cycling is a bicycle racing sport usually held on specially built banked tracks or velodromes using purpose-designed track bicycles.
The classic cycle races are the most prestigious one-day professional road cycling races in the international calendar. Some of these events date back to the 19th century. They are normally held at roughly the same time each year. The five most revered races are often described as the cycling monuments.
