- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2018
- I rode from Tokyo to Kyoto with two friends.
Start: 17th Sep 2018
End: 1st Oct 2018.
Our Route: goo.gl/xkUJ8K (follow this at your own risk! We didn't really plan it.. there is probably a far better route with less crazy tunnels).
Tunes: goo.gl/xhKUZz
Brother I just smoked a bowl and I'm now vicariously living through this video. Excellent.
ha ha ha excellent work!
Just wanted to come back and thank you guys for making this video. This inspired me to get into bikepacking and I just got back from my first trip where I did 1000 miles across Japan. You guys lit a fire in me and helped create a new passion that I'll take with me my entire life. Thanks so much
Thanks for the comment Tyler! This is exactly why I made this video. Glad it inspired you! 😎
There's so much food everywhere in japan that you would never have to prepare your food if you didn't want to. And Japanese sandwiches/ sandos are the best thing on earth. Loved the video.
No joke the fact that you guys didn't blab all over the video makes it super awesome. Many travel videos have so much talking...haha! Great job! Also...what camera thingy did you use? Such smooth video :)
dogbutts5000 haha! I agree. Hardly ever talk in my videos for this exact reason. Maybe one day if I have something important to say. This was shot on a go pro 6 attached to my handle bars. The image stabilization is amazing. Japanese roads are also very smooth 😉
haha shots fired! :)
@@JohnBr0 I agree on the blabbing in general but some babbling is ok, actually great for the video if you do it right. Also you guys seemed to have some really fun moments and a great vibe in general. Would have been nice to include some of those moments providing some variation to the music at the same time. The music has to be amazing not to get tiring at some point. Loved it anyway 👍
I went bike trip from Tokyo to Fukuoka 4 months ago. This video reminds me of my journey. Thanks.
Where did you bought your bike? Or did you bring it from your homecountry?
fuewabutz I bought mine over in a box 🙂
Got any links to routes you took or any tips? I'm planning on doing that trip this November
Best bikepacking video so far. No useless talking and great music to awesome Visuals. two thumbs up .
Isn't it just an amazing country!!... Just returned at the end of January this year and so in love with Japan. Kyoto was such a beautiful place!
Just watched the trip and looks awesome! Really encourage me to do a similar trip!!!! I was living in japan and this! This! Is the side of Japan I wanted to see! Thanks for the awesome video!!!
Hello! I am a cyclist from Russia, Siberia! You are great for going on this journey! It was very nice to watch you!
@@antonshipunov9778 Спасибо за добрые слова. Ездите безопасно и счастливо 👍🏻
Looks like it was a dope trip and your music selection was on point.
Woowww super dream ride
素敵な動画をありがとうござしました！貴方達の動画を見ていてとても楽しかったです！是非ともまた日本にお越しください！
Thank you for the nice video!It was a lot of fun watching the videos of you guys!Please come to Japan again!
あなたの国はとても美しく、私たちが会った人はみんな笑顔で丁寧で幸せでした。私はいつか戻ってきたいと思います :)
@@JohnBr0そう言っていただきありがとうございます！またいつでも日本にお越しください！！！
Thank you for saying so! Please come to Japan anytime!!!
Very Cool Film!! Loved it. V different from what I expected. Looks like you guys had some fun there. Loved the high 5 scene with the elementary kids. And looking at your map I see you went up by Lake Okutamako which is one of my favorite go to places - I thought I recognized the video footage. Kudos to you all!
nice trip!
また来てください
Thank you for sharing your memories. I've watched it many times already.
Superb in every way.......those tunes were awesome. Watching this has pushed this same trip t'top of my bucket list.
日本人の心の中にある原風景、ありがとうございます。
Japan sure is so beautiful!
Maaaasterpiece Vid bro!
Superbly edited!
Awesooooome! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
So cool when the group of kids high-fived you. Great vid.
I wish the sound had worked on my go pro! They were all shouting hello and laughing 😁
Also, can we have some appreciation to all the Japanese people leaving such cool and wholesome comments?
Hell yeah! So many nice comments from locals 🤗
Flipping love ya movie. Awesome Music and a nice swagg to it! Much better than a lot of those fancy movies of big companys.
great job hope we will see more content of ya guys.
I remember, you are the cyclists who passed in front of my wife's uncle's house. 5:00
両角淳 is you uncle the man on the left in the suit at 5:34? 🙂
@@JohnBr0
You happened to passed each other on the the road with my wife's aunt. !
It's the woman on the Mamachari Bicycle. She would have worn a hat.
You go a little down the road, across the street on the left is my wife's uncle's house
@@user-du8wu1ym7e WOW! that is amazing!! :) She looked so happy on her bicycle I had to take a video of her! What are the chances?!?! :) :)
@@JohnBr0
I heard about you from her, too. She said that a cool foreigners went by bicycle
She was worried that you would get lost. My house is on the other side of the lake
The lake is famous for anime fans." Your name is model of Itomori Lake model.Or, as the exit of Gold Rack's Secret Road No.5
@@JohnBr0
If you were passing the road on the other side of the lake, did you know that Mt. Fuji was seen beyond the lake?
Thank you for not talking half of the video like most others do, I really enjoyed watching!
i want to do this on my next visit to japan after the pandemic, except for all the camping. hostel and airbnb life is where it's at for me lol
This looks like an amazing trip! Visited Japan last November too, but not on bike. Would be an incredible place to ride.
Thanks for sharing.
Best ever bikepacking video, and the music, OMG.
Thanks! 😊🙏
It has been my dream to travel to Japan since I was 13, and still I want It. Rock you guys!
I just watched this video from Tokyo Japan and fun because This scene(0:24) looks like maybe the nearest station from my house.
I wanna go but cannot do because corona:(
I'm training to do this next year! Love the video, looks like such a great experience.
Ahhh you will have a great time. It’s definitely the greatest trip I’ve ever been on! 🥰
Japan is really nice place to riding bike,the video made me remember last year I ride in Japan
Beautiful video, it will be even better if you can tell us about more details on how you plan your trip and what you need to get prepare for bike packing in Japan. Good work !!
Props to you for not going the easy route along the coast.
Yeah - we decided to head into the mountains and get away from the cities. I'm so glad we did. It was so amazingly beautiful up in the hills. :)
@@JohnBr0i I think they( You )take hard road in japan.I saw this move many time.I find out What is Japan.little.thanks visit Japan sir.
this is one of my favorite videos on youtube. thanks for sharing.
Thanks! it's a great memory - so glad I captured it.
This video is so wholesome 9:38 especially! So glad I found this channel.
Look awwww those kids were the cutest 😍
Great video! I live in Japan and ride about 6000km per year but am yet to do a ride as epic as yours.
Truly inspirational for me to get out there and see more of Japan by bike. Darn hills and tunnels.
Looks like a great route! Better than the opposite coast which seems to be trafficky
I was planning to do a bikepacking trip after I have done with my PhD but I was not sure where to do. This is inspiring me to do it in Japan! Thanks!
John - Loved the video. You've got the skill of showing vs telling down pat. I want to do the same trip this summer.
I cant wait to move back to Japan. Your video is helping me deal with the separation. Also love the style of this video. Most other touring vids include unwanted comentary.
Cool movie! Yes, Japan is the safest and the most beautiful place for biking in the world. You should become an ambassador of Japan cycling!!!
Haha sounds like a dream job! Sign me up! 😁👍🏻
This video just made my morning.
Cool vid, Japan is so beautiful
Great travel video ! I love very much Japan!
11:54 the cloud... its amazing
Thanks for posting the video, very fun and inspiring. I'm thinking to to my bikepacking in JP soon too.
Awesome footages, thanks for sharing this grand trip! May I ask where you stored your bike box as you arrived in Tokyo?
We stayed in the same hotel first and last night in Tokyo - so they let us leave our bags in their left luggage room :)
Nice video!
As I'm tipical Japanese worker, I commute using MAMA CHARI everyday. I can't take a long holiday like you so I usually practice bmx after my job at a park nearby, then go for short trip around Japan in the weekend by bmx. Making a nice touring video like yours are very defficult. I'm still struggling it.
I look forward to your next video! Never heard of anyone touring on a BMX! Awesome :D
this type of content what i looking for, someday i wish to across around in japan using only a bike
@John Brophy, how did you guys store the bike boxes you used for the flight? did you leave them in storage or manage to leave them in a hotel?
Hotel looked after them. Also we left some at blue lug bike shop. We looped back from Kyoto to Tokyo on the train and stayed in the same hotel on our final night so we’re able to get the boxes.
@@JohnBr0 thank you! that helps a lot with planning 🙏
@@nateums no probs! You need a rinko bag to take your bike on the train - but they sell them at blue lug. We stayed here: Sakura Hotel Hatagaya
goo.gl/maps/8W6sWKQw9bYbosCr5 blue lug is just down the street.
@@JohnBr0 much appreciated bro!
This video is very inspiring. Great video! Epic journey
Seeing your data of the ride, I was truly shocked. I'm sure, the most of Japanese never imagine such route between Tokyo and Kyoto.
You must be a kind of person who loves harsh up hill with a lot of cargo.
akibah777 as long as there is a downhill on the other side - I’m happy hike-a-biking or riding up any hill! 😁 the grades in Japan weren’t so bad. We rode 99% of the time. Not much pushing at all.
Nice video 👍🏼 I love Japan. Been there several times, but never on a bike tour. Hopefully on my next visit! 🤞 🚴🏼♂️
after watching your film , no hesitation to subscribe. 13:48 relaxation. Def I'll ride from Tokyo to Kyoto as well
Aaron Chen have an awesome time! I’m sure there is a better route with less tunnels 👍
... very good movie - no permanent comments - that's how i felt the mood - thanks ...
I`m looking at your post for the first time!
I`m over 60 years old in japan, but I wanted to comment on how you enjoy japan.
If you have a chance to come to japan again, I would definitely recommend Hokkaido in summer. The temperature is not as hot as in Tokyo or Kyoto, and above all, food! Especially,
I think that you will be surprised at the deliciousness of Japanese ingredients that start to come out in late August!
Thank you for the fun video.
こんにちはカズ！来年はパンデミックが終わったら、日本に戻って北海道に行く予定です。素敵なコメントありがとうございます。日本の食べ物が大好きでした。おにぎりは私のお気に入りでした。多分私が到着したときにあなたにビールを買うことができます:)
@@JohnBr0
I am very happy to have a conversation on the Internet with people from overseas for the first time.
It is really a difficult time such as Corona pandemic!
please take care of yourself.
Thank you for your reply.
Nice Trip, and Amazing Video, and spetacular sounds.
Nice video, really well edited, it looks like a great trip, well done
Great videos.
I wanted to go on a bike packing journey
Thank you for sharing.
from japan.
Thanks! Your channel looks awesome! :)
Awesome video guys! I do really appreciate the selection of music btw :D
Nice! Great video and great tunes with no narrative - love it. Waiting for Japan to re-open and will live there 6 mos of the year. Skiing in the winter and hiking/biking in the fall. What Nav do you use when traveling on smaller roads and pathways? Thanks!
We used maps.me and google walking routes. Google cycle routes still don’t work out there (I think?!).
man that is seirously impressive! i found the train ride already long
Tokyo and kyoto are seriously the best places in the world i enjoyed every second there!
thanks for sharing this with us really enjoyed watching this.
P.s. i have just been to japan, if ever you are interested in watching my videos :)
Good wovie, good music, good atmosphere!!!
Respect to u ;)
Very positive, atmospheric video. I like it so much, even thought i am not cyclist fan. But Japan is a love, not even that Japanese Girls are lovely, not even that Japan has Manga/Anime, not even that Japan has amazing nature and sceneries, but altogether Japan is simply amazing. Hope u guys enjoyed your trip there, looking forward for more!
John thank you for sharing this awesome experience. Do you mind share how you manage to bring your bike from the airport to the city and the other way around?
The bike is in the grey box in the first and last frame of the video. We put it on trains and in taxis 😎 it was pretty heavy and not much fun. Since this trip I switched to a lighter fabric case rather than a hard case 👍🏻
Looks like an epic trip. When you camped did you stay at proper campgrounds or just pick your spots discretely? Did anyone give you a hard time?
We stealth camped twice, very discreetly, the rest of the time we were in campsites. One morning a bee keeper came and said 'ohio gozimasssss' with a big smile. Another time we accidentally camped in the wrong place at a campsite that led to an absolutely hilarious conversation between us and the grounds keeper in the morning in Dutch / English / Japanese. Again - it was all smiles and crossed fingers (the Japanese don't seem to shake their heads for no - they cross their fingers into an X.). All in all we didn't have any problems at all with anyone giving us a hard time anywhere. Everyone was extremely polite and friendly :).
I can see from your map that you stayed in one of my family’s favorite campsites. Right next to a nuclear power station :)
very nice bikepacking clip...
7:13 Wow! The drifters had a good ride))
wonderful adventure! thanks for share
I enjoyed the video..well done! on the last part of the Video you have to dis-assemble your Bikes, is this because you are the taking the train or the plane? thanks.
Both. On the bullet train you need to put your bike in a 'rinko bag'. On the plane I put my bike in the grey box in the first shot of the movie. :)
Bike Packing Japan is my newest bucket list item. Did you buy bikes there? IF so, what did you do with them after?
The bike is in the big grey box at the start and end :)
Hi, Great trip! I see a considerable amount of rain in the video. During which month did you travel?
We were there sep 17 - Oct 1st. We had three days of torrential rain, but it was still warm. Our stuff got soaked - so waterproof bags are highly recommended. 👍🏻
Healthy exercise and great for the environment.
Bicycles change lives. Every child should have a bicycle growing up.
Is it safe to do wild camping there? Bugs? Thieves?
If I am right this is not a mountainous region, I saw fixed bike in the footage
Congratulations straight from Brazil.
Wild camping was fine - as long as you were out of the way and polite. A few bugs, but nothing too crazy. I'm sure there are thieves in Japan, but not many. Most bikes in Tokyo were locked with very thin locks, or not at all. We left our bikes locked outside or hotel and they were fine. We went up some crazy mountains.. and some flat coast.. and through some built up cities.. and some farm lands. we had a bit of everything over 10 days :).
@@JohnBr0 Hi! Thanks your sharing! How do choose the camp spot in the route? Ask the owner / local for permission? or just look for a nice woods?
@@barrchan5358 10 days on the road. 6 nights in campsites, 2 in hostels and 2 stealth camping in the mountains. We didn't ask for permission, as there was no one to ask - but i'm 99.9% sure if we had asked someone they would have helped us find somewhere to stay. The Japanese seemed extremely friendly and nice to 3 random blokes on bikes. We were met with smiles and shouts of 'heeeellloooooo' all through our journey :).
@@barrchan5358 Hundreds of places to camp for free in Japan either facilitated or stealth. www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1xEtNPMQ9iQeqMHsCJJvtZikHFpI&ll=34.39920654080053%2C135.80687500104557&z=11
My question is where did your bike hardcase left?
Hey what a great ride and video! I'm very interested in doing some kind of trip in Japan. Also how did you film such steady pictures on a bike? Do you have some special equipment for that?
It was just a couple of go pros 😁 they have great image stabilization 😎
Howd u fix your gear? Rent/buy it at a local shop or bring it in from abroad?
we took it - my bike is in the grey box in the first and last frame of the video.
nice vid! thank you for sharing your trip
What a great time you guys had, you have inspired me to one day do this trip. Cheers.
Awesome video! Can I ask how you got the bikes/equipment there?
Wow, glad i stumbled on this one, great trip and I'm sure some wonderful memories. I aim to fly into Japan on Tuesday with no real plan, still to decide if i land and start in Osaka or Tokyo. One consideration is bike shops, I'll be leaving the roady at home. I saw blue lug and heard others rate it, did you pick up a bike there, or just some bags/accessories?
Bike is in the hardcase in the first and last frame. Blue lug was amazing. Grab a rinko bag from there so you can get your bike on the trains.
@JohnBr0 ah missed that thanks for the response to this and the other comment, will be sure to check out BL then. Yes, the rinko is on my check list, just the front wheel and you're good for boarding is what I've taken from another video on the tube. Thanks again and happy riding!
Great video! What kind of gearing did you mostly find yourself using?
Hey Genia. I was rocking an ultegra 6800 at 50/34 that came as stock on my CX bike. I recently switched out to a GRX 46/30 which is definitely a lot nicer on the hills! :)
Hey guys, great video! How much did the bikes weigh all geared up? Mmmm one was at 26kg the last 5 day trip I took.
Two of us weighed about 50/60lb and the bike with 4 panniers and a saucepan weighed in at about 75-80lb. 😊
Looks like an awesome adventure!
It really was. Can't wait to go back to Japan one day.
Awesome video , i would love to tour Japan by bicycle.
Amazing journey guys! Motivational and informative to say the least. I was wondering though...where did you store your luggage/bike box during the tour? I m thinking of doing a 10-12 day tour starting and finishing in tokyo and wanted to leave my bags somewhere safe. Thanks!
Rob Britton we stayed in the same hotel on our first night and last night in Tokyo - and they kept our bags for us for the 10days we were riding 😁
@@JohnBr0 Amazing. Well, I guess I'll just have to go experience it for my self. Very stoked, and thanks for making such a rad video. May I ask the name of the hotel, if you remember? Thanks.
Rob Britton we stayed at this place. Sakura Hotel Hatagaya
1-chōme-32-3 Hatagaya, Shibuya City, Tōkyō-to 151-0072, Japan
+81 3-3469-5211
goo.gl/maps/JzArkLmuYyXRaQgK8 there is a super awesome bike shop around the corner called blue lug if you need any tweaks.
Hello, I'm looking into bike touring Japan for awhile and am unsure whether I should bring my camp cooking equipment or not. I see you guys were cooking your own food. I'm wondering if you think the cost savings were worth the weight. Great vid!
I still maintain that the best ramen I’ve ever eaten was the one I cooked myself on a beach in Japan using my little stove and ti pot after we bought all the ingredients at a supermarket! It was definitely nice to be able to fall back on. But the amount of sushi and onigiri you can eat means we didn’t really need it. Not too sure on the cost savings - Japan is very cheap now if you have USD. ❤️ have an amazing trip!!
@@JohnBr0 Thank you!
hi, can i ask you to tell me wich festival you attend who give you that stravagant " almost dope trip immagine ;) ". sorry in advance for my english
Hi 👋🏻! Your English is good 🙂👍🏻 We turned up in Japan with a general plan of ‘let’s ride from Tokyo to Kyoto - and let’s go through the mountains, not along the coast’. Then everyday - we picked a 50 mile route and did it. It was great fun not really knowing where we were going and bumping into things along the way. That said we did miss some epic things like highest the rideable pass in japan ‘Norikura Pass’. We missed this by a few miles as we hadn’t planned! 😕😊. The festival was called ‘Teamlab borderless’ and was unbelievable beautiful! Go see it if you ever go. Ride safe!
Croatian? 😊
Bok 👋🏻! Vaš je engleski dobar 🙂👍🏻 Pojavili smo se u Japanu s općim planom ‘vozimo se od Tokija do Kyota - i idemo kroz planine, a ne uz obalu’. Zatim svakodnevno - odabrali smo rutu od 50 kilometara i to uspjeli. Bilo je izvrsno zabavno ne znati zapravo kamo idemo i naletjeti na stvari putem. To je reklo da smo propustili neke epske stvari kao što je najviša vozna karta u Japanu, "Norikura Pass". Propustili smo ovo za nekoliko kilometara kao što nismo planirali! 😕😊. Festival se zvao ‘Teamlab bez granica’ i bio je nevjerojatno lijep! Idi pogledaj ako ikad odeš. Vozite sigurno!
@@JohnBr0 thanks very much for all, I will planning one ride trhu Japan, I really enjoy your video and envying you a bit 😊. Continue to ride safe my friend.
How far did you manage to get each day on average? Like in KM/Miles
Jake Aryland This was our route. www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=16PohsUlvEW3tpznPg0L3f5_YTFeddaOo&ll=35.819913427406576%2C137.717583&z=6 we did about 40-70miles a day depending on the elevation.
Very nice trip and video.
doggo got surprised with a smack at 07:52 :D
Hey, great video :) In what bag did you store that dcf shelter ? I'd like to go Bikepacking with my DCF duomid XL
It goes in my fork bags. ruclips.net/video/n_RN0JHLPz0/видео.html&t
andrewthemaker.com created them specifically sized for my tent :)
@@JohnBr0 Thank you so much :)
Dude, I did the same 2016! I know exactly what you did! ^^ And more. My route was pretty similar at first: Tokyo, Chichibu, Chino, Matsumoto, Takayama (you missed that beautiful town!, same climb to Hirayu-onsen though), Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Mikuni, coastline to Biwa-ko (but I chose Hikone, the eastern side of the lake), Kyoto. After that I moved on to Uji, Nara, Osaka, Kobe, Himeji, back to Kobe, Back to Osaka, Kii peninsula at the coastline to Ise, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Fuji, Hakone, Kamakura, back to Tokyo. But, and thats the truth, I carried my stuff all the way in a travelbag I modified into a backpack on my back. I used a great carbon road bike Hikaru Utadas father bought me after he crashed my previous bike. ^^ Thats also not a joke! It took me 90 days and I experienced alot of great stuff on the way, too, like festivals, great people and breathtaking landscape and culture! I enjoyed the ride like you did!Great seeing people doing the same stupid things like me. ^^
Haha awesome! Did you make a video? 😁 riding with a back pack doesn’t sound too much fun but you got out there and did it! That’s what counts 😎 where are you heading next!?
How do you find these routes? I lived in Japan for 10 years in the 1990s but have been back in the US for 20 years. I will retire at the end of this year and move back to Japan and I plan on doing a lot of cycling, but I have to be honest. I really suck at directions and if I tried a long trip like this, I'd probably end up in Burkina Faso or something, unless I had it mapped out for me on a GPS.
This ride looks awesome! Thanks for sharing the route. Not sure if I will ever get there though.
great video ! do you mind telling me the soundtrack you used in the first 5 mins? tks!
Check the video description all songs are listed in there. It’s a remix by Mr Jukes 🤗
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/j3eVhjU1BQA/видео.html 🤗
6:43 - gorgeous!
Amazing video, Thank you!
how much did the airlines charge you to take your bike roundtrip to Japan??? was the case oversized[they typically are]which is the main reason i usually pay the 15euro fee[give or take]to rent a bike when i bike in Europe[which sucks because i have a killer Cannondale SuperV 1000 full suspension and the only thing they have to rent is usually a decent at best hybrid bike,but paying $300 each way!!![Lufthansa,KLM,is way too high[almost the cost of my ticket with hotel!!!!!
Dale Cannon my bike box was counted as bit of stowed luggage if it weighed under 50lb. No extra cost. That was with Japan airways.
Can I ask something easily googled so I can try to flex?
Great video!! ❤Question.. where do you storage the boxes/suitcases?
Haha I think I’ve been asked this like 100 times now in these comments! 😊 we stayed in the same hotel first night and last night in Tokyo - so they kept them in their luggage room for us 🥰
very nice video. tks
This is amazing- i want to do this.
I have the same Trico Bike box- it's a tank to lug, but I trust it, I just wish it had four wheels.
it was a good 2 hour journey with it from one side of tokyo to the other.. combined with getting off at the wrong stop on the subway and having to double back... made me want to find a lighter solution.. Maybe a new bag... but also maybe a bromtpon XD
What a fun looking trip.
