Yes. Especially since I don't have my mum anymore. Tears but good tears and a quick thanks for a great mum. So I think the spirit of the temple creation was met
Me 2, my mom is diagnosed with breast cancer and got her results while I was at home watching this video. Beautiful video great friends and my mom got some good news ❤️
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me!
Did you notice we ate at konbini (convenience stores) a lot? The reason for this was to cut down on any weight we had to carry so we (and A) wouldn't get exhausted! It's really easy to stop when you need to eat or refill water along the way. You can customize a route best suited for you. There are rentals at U2 Onomichi if you're visiting without a bike and only want to do a small section of the routes! Hope you enjoyed this video....
The intro was awesome, love this video. It was so worth the wait. Such a beautiful country. When you all got lost was so funny. This is so good, love this. Thanks for sharing. 👍🤗❤❤❤
Thank you Gene! Omg we were very confused and lost... my Japanese isn't great, so sometimes communication is hard.. especially in certain areas where the dialect is different! thank you for watching every week
I rode the Shimanami Kaido from Imabari to Onomichi in 2018. I was 44 at the time and rode with my teenage daughters. We hired a mamachari! OMG our butts hurt after two days riding but the memories of that scenery made it all worthwhile. I would highly recommend but if you’re a little older and not so fit (like me) take 3 or 4 days. It’s such a beautiful environment. We rode in early December which we thought was not too cold and definitely not hot. Well done. Your video brought back many memories of a great trip.
What a nice group of friends you’ve found away from home! I think that’s always my hesitation when I move elsewhere, making friends as an adult is a totally different experience and hard.
I lived in Iwakuni for 3 years from 1975 to 1978. I was in my early 20's. I used to ride my Sekai 21 speed bicycle from Iwakuni to Hiroshima. Spend several hours in Hiroshima, then ride my bike back to Iwakuni. It is about 22 miles from Iwakuni to Hiroshima. On one such trip, myself and 2 other American friends went on a bike ride to Hiroshima. We parked our bikes on the sidewalk across the street from the Hiroshima train station. We locked our bikes to a cuple of street sign posts, then we went on a long walk around the city. I realized about an hour into our walk, I left my Yashica 35 mm camera strapped to the back rack of my bike. When we got back to our bikes about 5 hours later, my camera was still there. Japanese folks are very honest.
Idk why but the Rose/bud/thorn thing at the end made me tear up! that's an amazing way to connect with your friends and understand their point of view after going through that bike journey.
As someone who’s from the PNW, Japan really appreciates nature and that’s something I never realized when most things posted about Japanese culture (that I have seen on movies or in general) are in the city, so it’s really cool to see the nature side of Japan & how much it has to offer. Thanks for showing us a side of Japan that isn’t always shown, and teaching us along the way!
Watching this video was so nostalgic for me! I went to Japan in November of last year and biked along the Shimanami Kaido route. I also stayed at the Onomichi U2 so this brought back so many memories. We drove along the Tatara Bridge, biked along the Tatara Bridge, and we even climbed the bridge! Not many people get the opportunity to climb up the bridge, it was an awesome experience. We also had lunch at the other hostel, the Ikidane Cyclist Hostel & Cafe. The food was really fresh and delicious.
When I was in the Air Force in Japan (could have also been in Europe) I was shocked how many Americans did not take the opportunity to explore their surroundings, preferring to stick to base activities. So glad you are open minded to new different cultures.
This is soooo awesome and such perfect content. Uplifting, happy and so fun to watch! That man driving you guys to the information center, Japanese will literally go out of their way to help you. It's so wonderful to see that kind of humanity. When I went to Japan an elderly man literally carried my luggage up stairs for me because he saw me struggling. It's something I will never forget. How did you meet these friends?! It's so wonderful that you have friends to do this kind of stuff with in a completely different country.
What a fun, lighthearted and inspirational video! - And wooow, I really want to do this! This summer me and a few friends biked from my hometown to my familycabin, and I agree that it truly is the best way to explore new places! I had so much fun and it is a treasured memory for sure. I'm going to apply for my master degree in Tokyo, and this is now officaly added to my bucket list. Extra motivation for studying!
i always get so excited to see you posted 😭 i’m currently planning a trip with friends to japan and korea next april (corona depending of course) and i keep coming back to your videos to let them play in the background food inspiration while working on itineraries. i hope you’re staying healthy and happy over there 💜
Such a beautiful trip. Seeing ur videos I feel like moving there... So pretty. The mom temple teared me up Loved the concept of rose thorn bud. So amazing to see girls only going on such a adventure...
I wasn’t expecting the Rose, Thorn, and Bud part to make me emotional! Despite having no part in this, I feel so proud of you too for accomplishing the ride. Another beautiful and thoughtful video❤️❤️
Watching this made me so motivated into learning how to bike❤️ and thanks for lightening up my quarantine life, it’s been really hard doing online classes and your videos always motivated me to enjoy life and take risks
Omg. I did this last November. My bucket list as well! Such a beautiful scenic ride! I spammed my instastory with shimanami kaido everything. Lol. Loving all the vlogs!
Yay!!!! I'm so glad your trip went well! We had the e-assist bikes when we did it.. I can't imagine climbing all of those slopes on a normal bike.. y'all are beasts. Also, your friend who biked New Zealand sure was handy to have around! thank goodness for skilled pals
Ok this is my favorite video of yours thus far! You put in so much work/thought when editing and into the small details which is amazing. I can definitely tell you take your time on editing, it really shows! 👏🏼☺️
Great job ladies, looked very fun. The bathroom was a family/handicap room. The sink next to the toilet is for handicap people to dispose their waste bags.
incredible video and great editing with the music and everything - super relaxing video ♥ i love that rose, thorn, and bud thing at the end that's such a nice idea 🥺🥰 serious question though: where/how did you find all your friends in Japan? Once it's possible again, I'd love to go to Japan too, but I have no idea how to make friends outside school/workplace environments 😞
this was such an interesting idea! I loved this video because it is not always about the city views of the famous restaurants. you have to go out and enjoy what it is that is different from what you are used to! this became a part of my bucket list and I would like to ask how did you train for it and what tips can you give to a beginner in cycling?
The experience I felt in this video is immaculate, thank you so much for this, I literally felt like it was me riding that bike looking through your cam...❤️
This was SUCH a cool video and experience! I love biking (caught the bug after living in Amsterdam) and this just made me want to try ALL the great biking trips! I hope someday I can make it to Japan and do this!
Okay now I want to do this!!! I indoor cycle everyday. I have to get my tires fixed on my bike otherwise I would totally go cycle after watching this!!
this vlog makes me want to cycle throughout japan now!!!! for now, imma have to just dream about this in my sleep cuz im still stuck at home because of the pandemic in my country.. thanks for this vlog as it gives me hope for the future!!!
I LOVE cycling with my son being pulled in a trailer, but my bottom hurts SO much after just 5 miles. Do you have any tips on a seat that can alleviate that issue?
hi girl - just came across your channel, very nice job on the Shimanami Kaido! Give me a holler if you want to do some cycling in Gunma. I've been making videos of what cycling is like here (very mountainous, less "famous", a whole lot of remote/awesome nature!). I think yall would love it. Anyways, keep riding!

Ok wasnt expecting the Mom temple...that made me tear up. I love everything about this video.
RIGHT! so incredibly sweet and amazing!!!
Yes. Especially since I don't have my mum anymore. Tears but good tears and a quick thanks for a great mum. So I think the spirit of the temple creation was met

Aww the rose, bud, and thorn part was so sweet. Such a great video!
This was such a fun video to watch. That trash bag hack was brilliant!

I look forward to your videos every Sunday! And they never fail to make me smile! Thank you for always creating such wholesome content! 🙏
This looks amazing! LOL all the kids asking the foreigners HOW ARE YOU HOW ARE YOU. Classic!
Oh my goodness the trash bag to pump up the sleeping mat is so smart!! Definitely doing that next time I use one.
I really love this and especially the end with the thorn, bud etc. Super neat! Looks like an amazing weekend.
What an amazing, down to earth video !!! Thanks for sharing , felt like I was apart of the experience !!💛
Loved this video! More experiences and adventures please!
P.S.: God bless your resourceful friend! The bin bag trick to inflate was so cool!
RIGHT!!!!! I can't wait to learn more from her so I can be resourceful, too!
Such amazing place to do such an activity with friends. I love Japan.
When I was in the Air Force in Japan (could have also been in Europe) I was shocked how many Americans did not take the opportunity to explore their surroundings, preferring to stick to base activities. So glad you are open minded to new different cultures.
LOL the honesty at not showering 😂 this is so cool!! I’d love to bike this someday. You got this video out real quick! 💨

So happy to see this type of video! I love bikepacking and want to do more of it too. It's the perfect speed to really take in your surroundings.
Loved the rose, bud and thorn idea!! I want to do that more in my travels too and in everyday life.
What a fun, lighthearted and inspirational video! - And wooow, I really want to do this!

Nice editing! And great job on completing the cycling trip.
This video is just amazing!! Would love to do something like that someday 🙌🏽
Great job ladies, looked very fun. The bathroom was a family/handicap room. The sink next to the toilet is for handicap people to dispose their waste bags.
YES! it's for handicap / family / and changing room! didn't know about the waste bag part - thank you for sharing with us
This looks like so much fun 💛💛
I love everything about this video ❤️❤️ Japan life seems so sweet
thank you for sharing your experiences in Japan with us!! 🥺makes me want to visit Japan someday.
Loved this video! Also really great job on the biking part 💛 so hard but so beautiful
James May was on that road! For anyone who hasn’t watched I suggest looking up James May, our Man in Japan on Amazon video. Absolutely brilliant
the intro was AMAZING
it's all the bridged we biked across!!!! they all look similar, but I appreciated my friends humoring me by stopping on the way back to film these!!
i wish i was in japan like last year:( i love it there!
Been loving all your content. New sub right here. sending love from Australia xx
It's important to have girls outings from time to time. Helps with mental loads. I'm happy you are sharing your experience with us.
I pretty much love everything I see in these videos, and hope to visit there one day
Love the idea of Rose, Thorns and Bud! Also the trash bag for camping, is there any device that she connected it to?
Great video !! Such beautiful scenery. In cars you really can't absorb the landscape properly.
incredible video and great editing with the music and everything - super relaxing video ♥
i love that rose, thorn, and bud thing at the end that's such a nice idea 🥺🥰
serious question though: where/how did you find all your friends in Japan? Once it's possible again, I'd love to go to Japan too, but I have no idea how to make friends outside school/workplace environments 😞
Such a special trip! The rose, thorn, and bud is a great idea 😭
Girl, you are living the dream!!
i love every video u make, but this one might be my favourite
great video but 2:01 😬, looks like such a fun trip! great tip about the moldy air inside the sleeping bag!
Such a cool and beautiful video. First time I watch one of your videos and loved it! Thanks
OMG!!! Welcome welcome to the RUclips fam 🤗🤗🤗🤗
this was such an interesting idea! I loved this video because it is not always about the city views of the famous restaurants. you have to go out and enjoy what it is that is different from what you are used to! this became a part of my bucket list and I would like to ask how did you train for it and what tips can you give to a beginner in cycling?
The experience I felt in this video is immaculate, thank you so much for this, I literally felt like it was me riding that bike looking through your cam...❤️
i’m ready to watch😊
Great for you. Hope you went home and changed your tire - first thing the next day ... Thanks for sharing the trip
I'm so proud of you 👏 💓 this was awesome!
I loved the Rose, Thorn, and Bud concept, I’m going to do it with my high school students!
omg! That trash bag idea is brilliant 😯😯😯
This was SUCH a cool video and experience! I love biking (caught the bug after living in Amsterdam) and this just made me want to try ALL the great biking trips! I hope someday I can make it to Japan and do this!
Loved the cute intro to this!
My favorite content on youtube!
Loved this video!!! 🚴🏻♀️
Okay now I want to do this!!! I indoor cycle everyday. I have to get my tires fixed on my bike otherwise I would totally go cycle after watching this!!
I was just putting up a post. Photo of a bunch of dried roses and it made me think of what you said at the end of this video
The rose thorn bud is so cute. Going to add that the my passion planner 😂
I also didn’t realize there were tolls for bikers here. That’s interesting
NC State Alumni?
Such a great video! Really makes me want to get out of my comfort zone and do something fun with some awesome women.
I love the way you make your videos yours. They are gorgeous
omg all of your legs must have fallen off the next day 😹 loved the vid!!!
Looks fun. Enjoy your videos as a salesman. You've done more excursions in Japan than most Japanese have done in their lives.
this vlog makes me want to cycle throughout japan now!!!! for now, imma have to just dream about this in my sleep cuz im still stuck at home because of the pandemic in my country.. thanks for this vlog as it gives me hope for the future!!!
That intro was awesome 🤗!
The end!! 🥺🌹🥀❤️ I love that!
Amazing! ❤️
So cool!

I love the intro so cute😍
How awesome!! Where can I friends like yours?!
I like your channel sooo much! Watchin’ U from Brazil. 😘🇧🇷
I would love to ride a bike in Japan like on the way to school or something like in the animes ❤️ And the fog/mist looks so coooool
they look like they are having a lot of fun.とても楽しそう。🚲😁
My rose is going back to college, my thorn is dealing with my moms passing, and my bud is my new creative business
What kind of life hack is your friend doing at 12:31?!!? 🤯 I need do this next time I'm inflating an air mattress!
Great video 👍🏻
I LOVE cycling with my son being pulled in a trailer, but my bottom hurts SO much after just 5 miles. Do you have any tips on a seat that can alleviate that issue?
