Thank you so much for the nice comment! I shared it with Zeb too - he does put a lot of time into planning and riding! That's so awesome you moved to Mie to continue cycling. Hope you continue to stay safe and enjoy your rides too!

Next time! There's a lot of great stuff in Kanazawa if you get to make it to the city again sometime - thanks for watching! 😄

Thats such a cool story! I bet that ride was pretty... well except for the weather haha. Awesome that he let you on even without a bike bag. I wonder what the train ride would be like if you rode it today. Great memories it sounds like!

I don't know the exact route/train name unfortunately, but I just searched the destination start and end (Ljubljana to Munich) and bought the tickets online at Rail Europe's website. We printed them for the train but you could probably just have the QR code on your phone. Here's the site: www.raileurope.com/en-us/destinations/ljubljana-munich-train Hope that helps!

@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere Thanks a lot for your answer and information. I wil try it.

thank you, you are right! 😅

thanks so much for watching and commenting again! 🥰

🥰

thanks so much, I appreciate the comment!

thank you for watching!

You got it! A lap around Japan by bike would be awesome - don't think i'm fast enough to finish it in 3 weeks though 😂 thanks so much!

thats cool! I haven't driven a car in either of those states yet so my first experience like that at a gas station was in Japan haha. Tolls vary pretty widely based on where you are in the country, the time of day you're driving, and the size of your car. For example, we were in a "lightweight car" and 4 hours of driving cost us 6000 yen in central japan, 3000 yen in Akita and Aomori prefectures, and 300 yen in the north of Aomori. It's hard for me to make a general guess, but this website lets you calculate tolls ahead of time in english if you know where/when you're driving and want a better estimate: search.w-nexco.co.jp/en/

Oregon finally lifted the ban last year! NJ is the last hold out.

wow this was so cool to hear that you actually rode the route and tried some ice cream!! I'm so happy to hear :) Thanks so much for sharing about your ride - hope you had a lovely time during the rest of your stay in Kanazawa!

ooh a good one! I love those yogurts for mid morning snacks 😊

@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere just so you'd know, I've been binging your videos and I find it inspiring and now I'm planning to bring my bike from the Philippines to Japan and do a week long bikepacking trip :) thanks and keep up the good work!

@@kimdabsmd wow this made my day to hear! that is so cool - what part of Japan will you be bikepacking in? I hope you have a great time and would love to hear how it goes after your trip!

@ probably from osaka to kyoto to takayama as i really enjoyed the train going there. I’ll definitely make a video out of it and give you guys a shout out there 🫰

@@kimdabsmd sounds great! looking forward to seeing your video/trip 😄

ありがとうございます😊1月に河北潟の道路が被害を受けたとき、私は悲しかったです。頑張ってください能登

Thank you so much, Gifu is such a beautiful prefecture! We visited Gujo once and I loved that town. So many lovely roads to bike on, and beautiful rivers. Shirakawago is also one of our favorites. I'd like to come back to see more of your prefecture sometime!

Ha, you're so right! Lol I hadn't thought of that - I bet there are so many wacky roadside attractions out there. Thanks so much for watching again!

ah you made my day! thanks so much :)

haha, i need to do an update video soon - But yes Zeb's contract ended in Ishikawa and it felt like the right time to start a new adventure for now (which I'll share more about soon!) But we hope to be back in Japan often! There's so many more places we want to ride/see in this country

笑金沢にはアイスクリームがたくさんあるね😊あありがとう😄

No way! We would love to be back - always seems like there's more to see :) What part of Tohoku is your favorite?

That sounds like an awesome trip! It's hard to estimate the average cost when so many things will factor into the stay - as you probably know it depends on whether the guest house is in a big city, the season, how nice the house is, if its a shared facility, if there are a lot of accommodations in the area, etc. We were frequently able to spend less than 1万 (¥10,000) for comfortable but humble accommodations. Some more popular cities for cycling or tourism were pricier, but you can save by staying in shared rooms. Sometimes APA business hotels or even "love hotels" are the cheapest option in an area if there aren't many ryokan options. Have fun!

Thank so much! I haven't been there yet, but the peninsula looks stunning. Hopefully I'll have the chance one day. The closest I got to you was visiting Tsu for the F1 race haha, but I'd like to see more of the natural beauty Mie has.

It was so nice! Thank you!

Haha it was intimidating at first but luckily all we had to do still was put the ticket in and then the cash, so i'm still not sure what all the other bells and whistles were 😂

Thank you, that means so much for you to say that about my art! I really appreciate it. And I definitely agree, Japanese cities are exciting but I love all the natural beauty this country has!

That's so nice of you to listen to them! Thank you, I miss it too, but it's been really nice to be with family for a change. I won't be away from Japan forever 🥰

Thank you! We aren't staying in Japan at the moment, we've been working on our future plans but it's been really nice to spend more time with family in the meantime recently. It's not goodbye forever though. Hopefully I'll make an update video soon after I finish our road trip videos!

Another great video, thanks for sharing the adventure. Love the look of the car you had for your adventures. Can I ask what it is and any challenges fitting in both bikes?

@@AussieInJapan Thanks! It was a daihatsu tanto (ダイハツ・タント). Both bikes fit fine with a wheel off of each and a bit of maneuvering. We put towels between them to prevent any scratching while driving

Thank you as always! totally agree, I would love to ride in Hokkaido sometime - had to save something to look forward to on the next bike trip 😂 where do you recommend there?

@@AnniewhereAndEverywhereThe Lake Toya area is nice and easily accessible. The Shiretoko National Park is meant to be great, but I haven't been there yet,

楽しかたよ！またこのような旅行ができればいいですね 😀ありがとう

I think it is! I don't know for sure, but it doesn't seem to ever officially close. The only time it would be "closed" is if there is too much snow to ride on it. Early December should be ok, but I would just check the forecast in case there is an early snow. Last year January and February were more snowy months.

200km is a huge achievement too! Zeb would have to share his specifics but it seems like his main plan was just riding a lot, haha. In the leadup to that he was averaging 15-20 hours on the bike per week - his strava profile is www.strava.com/athletes/377840 😀

ありがとう！小松市は近いね😀 I hope you can try the route next time you are in the area!

ゼブは凄いね！でも a little crazy too I think 😂 Thank you for watching and for your nice words. うれしい！

thanks so much for watching & commenting :)

omg hi! I was wondering how you were doing and how the Japan trip went. So glad you had a great time! Mt. Misen is so beautiful! It's been a while, but Zeb and I got to hike/stay there on our honeymoon in 2019 - the torii gate was still under renovations then though so I would love to go back and actually see it. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm a bit behind on my editing but I should have the next video up soon, which will be about Akita prefecture and our first time in the Tohoku region! Theres always so much more to see in Japan isnt there? 😄

@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere Oh my god, I'm not surprised you've already been there, you're like a traveling pro compared to me 😂 But yea, if you're ever back in Hiroshima, definitely worth checking out again, the torii gate is really pretty especially at sunrise/sunset! Also hundred percent, I feel like I barely scratched the surface of Japan in my last trip, and from another angle, I also definitely want to keep putting my Japanese skills to the test! I think most of my favorite moments from the trip came from conversations with people like with my host family's extended family (cousins, grandparents, etc.) or even with strangers in random places like onsens lol. Made me so happy that my time spent learning Japanese actually worked fairly well and that I could communicate with the people around me. I feel like it added so much more to the whole experience vs. just visiting places and looking at them! Well I kind of went off on a tangent there, but yea haha there's just so much to explore!

@@lycanerf6885 That makes sense! So cool that you were able to practice your Japanese - it's so rewarding when it feels like studying is finally working isn't it? 😂 There's so many places I still want to go, I'm always taking recommendations! I hope college prep went smoothly and that you're settling in well, excited for you!

thank you so much for watching and commenting! I love your cycling videos as well - I hope your town is recovering 💞

it was a bit snowy and we definitely needed to pack warm jackets, but still worth visiting with the right clothing! The snow added an extra beauty, and nothing was closed due to weather

Hi, thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate the kind words - and I hope you have an incredible time in November! I'm not a great resource hiking since I usually bike, but hopefully I can offer some suggestions for where to start looking. Hakusan has some trails around the base, but I'd just check the snow forecast. November is on the early side for snow but the area gets a lot of precipitation. I would stay in the mid-range mountains, about 1500m - 2000m. I think anything 2000m or taller might be too cold/snowy that time of year. The Kurobe Alpine Route in Toyama Prefecture is more bus travel instead of hiking, but they go through one of Japan's 3 holy mountains and time run into late November: www.alpen-route.com/en/timetable/ If you're going to the Kansai region there should be nice hikes around Lake Biwa or Mt. Hiei outside Kyoto: ruclips.net/video/zNygXjsAJKw/видео.html Also this website might be helpful for your planning: hikesinjapan.yamakei-online.com/ I hope you have a great time!!

@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere Hi, thank you for a great reply! After seeing your videos I found the page you recommended me, so it seems I'm on a good track ! Also I believe I will decide on the spot depending on the weather forecast as you suggest, but it's nice to know the details you shared. I truly appreciate your recommendations, since I am not too keen on hiking with snow haha. I'll definitely check out Lake Biwa and Mt. Hiei. This is my first time commenting on a video, I can't believe I had such luck. Thank you again ! Best wishes from Argentina 🙌

@@GabiNico-j6j So happy to hear, that sounds great! i'd love to hear how your trip goes, and if you try any other good hiking spots😄

Wow!! this is so generous of you, I really appreciate it! Thank you

I appreciate that, thank you so much!

I think that month is good for cycling still! I don't have much experience cycling in the Tokyo/Kawaguchi areas, but I don't think it will be too cold yet - I found that in Ishikawa the early spring was colder/snowier than late fall. I would just make sure you have warmer clothes/rain gear/gloves to bike in just in case. Have fun!

thank you so much for watching and commenting!

thank you! it took us about 3.5 hours to reach the top on foot, but then we took the ropeway down instead of hiking both ways.

it was! we got so lucky with the weather 😄

thanks so much for watching!
