You have alot of courage! Braving the rain ☔ in the middle of the night, all wet, no bike light and the wind! I did 80 kms with my bike in one day one month ago and when I came back home there was so much wind 🍃. I love your videos! いってらっしゃい, またね
Hi Moe, we have just returned home, that is Stirling in the Adelaide Hills from three weeks bike touring Japan. We are so enjoying your video. Only watched this one so far, and now for the second time. I can see you have many more videos to look at too. You have a great knack and a creative flare, for pulling your journey into a fabulous story to view. Congratulations and well done!! We, that is my 15 year old son and I rode from Tokyo on July 1st to the Nara region and Lake Biwa. We flew back out of Osaka on the 19th back to Tokyo. We died riding up the Hakone Pass and the back roads to Toi, but just so worth it. And then there is the heat and humidity. Let’s not forget that. I have forwarded your inspirational videos onto a Japanese girl we met who is keen to get into this world, and I think you tell the story so well from a female perspective.
Nicely done video. Such great shots of the scenery and don’t forget the food! I do bikepacking off-road in Oregon and Idaho - we don’t as well! I have hike in Nagano and skied there and Hokkaido as well. You motivate me to plan a Japanese coastal bike trip next. Have you lived in the U.S. for a time; I ask as your English is excellent.
Great video (as usual). You kept such a great attitude when woken up with no rain protection. I'd be calling and asking to be picked up. Keep posting great adventures.
I really enjoy your videos, you've got a good sense of cinematography for the cycling experience and you get some serious vibes in these. Bravo on carrying on after that first night!
Hello Moe, I'll be doing my biketouring in japan this coming summer. I'm wondering how's it like to wild camp in japan while biketouring..was it easy? Or did you go to the designated campsite area? Thank you 😁.
This is so cool!! Your the nature and food shots have such a relaxing feel to them and I appreciate that you share your routes so we can check out the same roads. Love watching videos of a fellow female cyclist too :) Happy I found your channel and excited to watch more!
Thank you, Annie. Just checked out some of your videos too - lovely riding out in Ishikawa! Let us know if you come to the Kiryu area and if we have time, would be cool to meet up for a ride or a meal :)
@@moecycling That would be so fun - we've ridden near you in the Minakami area, and it was beautiful. I'll reach out if we are headed that way again. Feel free to do the same if you come up to Ishikawa!
there are many routes where camping is possible, just need to do spend some time researching and also be creative/flexible while on the route. Hoping to go camp again soon!
Your video is veryy gorgeous ,thankyouuuu.. now i have some reference for what kind o videos i want to make in the future for my biking trip and also some tips and trick. one of em its "do not forget to bring some coin >< ",,
I'm very very jealous. Was hoping that Japan will open for "normal" tourism this fall, but looking at the present state, the idea of guided tours straight from NK is really killing the cycling vibe. I guess it will be next years spring. Gotta make sure I'll have enough time like last time (36 days total in 2019) for taking on the climbs and lovely forest downhills. I think I'll be visiting Gunma again as well - Shibukawa most probably and Haruna-san because of the memories. Keep the stream of videos flowing - they are an amazing "copium" for me :P
Great documentary, thanks for sharing! I am planning to go along Tone river too, not full length, maybe around 70k so I can do it in one day. Is there a guide map? or route is easy to find starting in Shibukawa? Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing Moe, it is a great video. May I ask is there any website that shows all the car free river paths in Japan? I am planning to have a 2, 3 weeks bicycle ride with my 7 year old girl. Thank you so much.
Is there a river path on the Tone River from Narita to Gunma? Cool I'm planning to cycle to random places next year. Don't think I'm gonna camp if I don't have to though lol.
Hi there, what a great feat you have achieved! I'm planning for a bike packing trip from Kagoshima airport to Tokyo Narita Airport. Do you have any idea on how I can get have it disassembled, pack and ship my bike to Narita airport when I have reached Tokyo? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for sharing! Beautiful scenery and relaxing vibes - Takes me back to the time I was cycling in Japan. May I ask what was your camera set up while riding?
You have a good eye! It's actually a cheap osprey camping stuff sack, which happens to be the perfect size for my sleeping bag and also the perfect size for my front handlebars. It definitely was not designed for bikepacking, but I noticed that the clips line up well with road bike bars and it's become a part of my essential gear :)
This makes me feel like I need to take a train up north to Gunma and ride this route - it looks so cool.

This looks awesome. I'm starting to plan some bike trips to do in Japan so this is a big help. Great video.
Watching this video brings me back to Kiryu! Keep them coming!
We miss you here in Kiryu @Balanc3 🤗 do you have plans to come back to Japan in the near future?
Great video (as usual). You kept such a great attitude when woken up with no rain protection. I'd be calling and asking to be picked up. Keep posting great adventures.
I really considered phoning it in, but the conbini lattes helped me get my mojo back 😆

I appreciate that! Thanks so much for your kind comment :)
very good your video I just watched, and I will watch the others, congratulations
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! 🚵♂️🚵♀️
A real trooper! It's not an adventure without some adversity, and great editing!
Haha very true! Thanks for watching!

I've been enjoying your bikepacking videos and was wondering if many routes could incorporate tent camping. Thanks for sharing.
there are many routes where camping is possible, just need to do spend some time researching and also be creative/flexible while on the route. Hoping to go camp again soon!
Great Video. Reminds me of my japan cycling back in 2018.. hope it will be possible to cycle again in Japan soon.
I hope so too! If we are lucky, borders will open this summer.
Great video, I hope I can travel to Japan this year to do my own bikepacking trip
I hope so too - thanks for watching!

Agree - the current rules are absurd. Hopefully the government will be able to get it together and move on with the rest of the world.
@@moecycling I hope so! I can ride in the mountains here in Poland as well, but cycling through Japan's countryside is just the best.

Thank you for the kind words! For this video, I only used my mobile phone. I wanted to pack light on this one 😊
@@moecycling thanks! Wow.. good work on using mobile. Looking forward to your future posts.👍🏼
What is your handlebar bag setup? Looks interesting

simple life, very good.
Thank you :)
How did you transport your bike to Japan and if so in a a bike box where did you store it
Cheers lou
Nice video ... what camera do you use .. and what brand of gravel bike do you use
I use a Google Pixel as my camera and my bike is a Cannondale Synapse 2019: biketourjapan.com/bikeoptions
Hey, Im planning a biketrip in Japan in September. How do you manage to lock your bike through the day ?
What are the camping regulations over there?
Wow, you had Indian food? Where was that?Did you enjoy? Why didn't you show us?
