一期一会 MTB in Japan! Here, There, Everywhere Ep.5

一期一会 // Ichi-go ichi-e is a Japanese idiom that translates to, “for this time only” - a sort of Japanese Carpe Diem, so ... even though we had no idea what to expect, or even what we were looking for, we seized our time and, we were off to mountain bike in Japan!
We visited:
Fujimi Panorama
www.fujimipano...
Iwatake Hakuba
www.nsd-hakuba...
Fujiten Resort
www.trailforks...

Absolutely beautiful colours and countryside. The energy and enthusiasm of the riders looks like so much fun!

[@dvrgntminds]

The enthusiasm is unmatched!

I love Japan! It's hilarious when you look around like, "I can't believe these people like me so much" lol. Such good stuff!

[@dvrgntminds]

Everyone is so welcoming, it's the best!

Love seeing Japan from a fresh perspective. Looks rad, dirt looks rad. People look rad. Also ramen.

[@dvrgntminds]

Love everything about Japan, the riding looks amazing too not surprisingly. Awesome edit, the colour grade with the fall colours is so nice.

Come to Niseko next time, we're building a free-to-use community bike park & trail network!

[@scottkramer1077]

So wholesome:) :)

[@dvrgntminds]

Fujiten closing day was the most wholesome event I've been to in a while, haha.

[@covemaru]

cool！！

[@Stickybutton]

Researching on where to ride in Japan is incredibly hard. The locals are hush hush and everything must be ‘with permission’, no sliding, no drifts…. no idea where to go other than the short trail parks.

[@dvrgntminds]

We stuck to the bike parks and had an incredible time! It sounds like there are a few guides to hire around Fujimi that can show you more enduro riding.
