Hi Sherry, Happy Birthday!!! Thank you for letting us join you on your awesome trips. Take care and keep enjoying your bike rides. Greetings from Mexico!!!
You look like a combination of Ana de Armas and Scarlett Johansson. Thanks for all the positive vibes, I love your adventures. Always enjoy, take care and God bless! ❤
Beau reportage d’un pays lointain .Merci pour ces voyage ! Bonne continuation à vous et votre cameraman. Au plaisir de suivre vos futures aventures en Gravel bikepacking.
Thx for coming. Nara’s bambis are special and protected for religious reason. I’m happy because Japanese convenience stores and vending machines helped your cycling. Japanese cyclists love them, too. I recommend Hokkaido and Kyushu for next your trip.
I've ridden everywhere in the prefectures around Tokyo. I admire your ability to deal with the traffic and cold weather (this was April or so, right?) I hate traffic and especially the tunnels around Okutama. Fortunately, I can skip the traffic by loading my bike on the train and getting to the base of the mountains where there is far less traffic and the smaller roads are still well maintained. I love getting up in the mountains. Japan is beautiful.
What an epic adventure! This Chimp highly approves! The vistas look amazing, that FARA bike is 🤌🏻 keep up the great content Sherry & Ride safe out there 🐵
@@Buzzalong.cycling I thoroughly enjoyed it and Japan is a place i would like to visit for the culture, food & the scenery. It’s great knowing the opportunities for cycling over there too!
No wonder you had so many punctures, i had like 3 a day when having Gravelking with tubes on rear wheel. The front was tubeless with 0 issues. Thanks for the video! Some of the cuts were way too short for us though
Great video, you say if you come to Japan make sure you have enough gears on your bike. I see you’re using 1x which to me is a backward step. The more gears you have the better which means 2x,the leg wrecking big gaps between the the sprockets and increased chain deflection are a big minus to me
I'm curious to know what you had in your baggage for backpacking in Japan with this rather cold weather. It really makes me want to take a plane ticket to Japan. Vincent from the north of France ( Risjel )
Thank you for sharing! I am also trying to plan a bike packing trip in Japan this fall, and looking at your komoot collection, I noticed that the stages are not publicly accessible? Is this in purpose? If not, could you make them public so that we can see the route? Thanks!
I think they are for the water flow when it rains, you have them everywhere in Japan, mostly on mountain roads, they are actually very slippery when going over them on a bike so I always slowed down when I encounter them
@@IdahoFatTireBikeFun hope you enjoy it is beautiful! if you need more info i also wrote a blog post link below: www.buzzalong.cc/post/japan-bikepacking-route-hiroshima-tokyo
Que viaje tan cool y super el video! I'd love to embark myself on a bikepacking road trip like yours. How do you manage the bike bag for boarding trains after you're out of the train? Do you use a lightweight bag that you carry in a backpack the whole trip, or do you just purchase a new one when leaving the country/taking a new train?
Hi :) yes you can find all info and route on the blog post on my website, link below: www.buzzalong.cc/post/bikepacking-japan-2-200-km-cycling-adventure-from-hiroshima-to-tokyo
Yes you can find the full route in the link below together with some practical info: www.buzzalong.cc/post/bikepacking-japan-2-200-km-cycling-adventure-from-hiroshima-to-tokyo
What kind of bag did you use on the Shinkansen ? Bought it in Japan or brought it from Europe ? We are plannig a similar trip in September/Oktober and having the Shinkansen option would be nice.
I used a rinco bag, you have to pack your bike on it to transport in the Shinkansen, I bought mine in Japan but they are quite expensive there and sometimes tricky to find, I have some at home I bought on amazon that are cheaper I just forgot to bring them, I leave a link below: amzn.to/3Rysp0R
@@Buzzalong.cycling perhaps the road surfaces are sharp and jagged on those rough trails? I don’t think you’d want to rely on tubeless for long rides. Tubes are easier to replace. You don’t want to end up with a sticky mess. Keep it simple ☺️
You started Hiroshima station and rode to east. Why did you not take local train so to say 30min, then you could be at Miyajima, shrine on sea, view is fine. From there you could start your tour.
When I don't have a lot of energy I like to switch the bike computer from miles per hour to kilometers per hour. I'm still going the same speed, but the numbers are bigger and I can pretend I'm going faster.
There's in this moment a football match between France and Nederlands, as in the "tour de France" when dutch cyclists fight with french cyclists . But i must say : the most beautiful cyclists are colombian : Is it because of the spirit of Ecuador or what ? In Europe we need enthusiasm of this part of the world : Sherry went to Japan to make happiest those Bambis and youtubers and followers and when you see her trip, wings grow on the back and riding the bike for long distance is easier even with Worn equipment. It is not flattery, it's more or less real and we learn english with those videos, don't need any more school : let's go to Sports Classes and of course with music and the smile of this Doe Woman. You just have to think about her and just her image in your head makes you win the race
Wow!! Welcome to Japan!! Basically, Japan is so safe even at night, and most Japanese food contains high carbs. This country should be best for you cyclists😆
Next Travel Bike Adventures, Why you can't try in the Philippines , You can travel by Land and Sea routes there's so many Roll On, Roll off Shipping Vessels with 3 to 4 Hours long travel by Land and Sea in Island to island , and you can see different places and cultures in every Provinces with Stunning views of different Places like Falls ,white Beaches, Rock formations mountain, Volcanos, Beautiful Lakes, With Friendly and Hospitable Filipino People in the Philippines, and you have many Bikers Fanatics Subscribers in TH-cam to see you Travel in Philippine Loops.
Are Japanese bambis not as wild as spanish's ones because they are next to Pacific Ocean ? or perhaps because they have met the famous Miss Cordona, the warrior and worker of the peace?
Belated Happy Birthday, Sherry! My guess is you’re almost as old as your spitting image, Ana de Armas, but biologically speaking, you look younger than 20. May you keep riding more miles with that smile, which makes you younger, fitter, and happier, along with the never-ending cheap (sheep) and Haribo in your life! 😄🍰🎂
What a fantastic movie! Imagine a country so civilised they have “cycling roads”. Not like the U.K. where psychopathic motorists try and kill us every time we go on roads. Beautiful work! 👍👍👍
Happy Birthday Sherry, looks like it was a wonderful adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you 🙌🏻
I would do this stuff one day. If i win a lottery. What an epic and beautiful view experienced.
:)
Seven cycling tours in Japan I had one flat tyre. Loaded touring panniers , tent etc; Nice video.
Thanks :)

2027 I will go to Paris - Brest - Paris I know is far away but hopefully I will meet you there.
Wow what a great adventure, loved the video.
Thanks so much!
I've ridden everywhere in the prefectures around Tokyo. I admire your ability to deal with the traffic and cold weather (this was April or so, right?)

thank you :) I went there in March, just took me some time to edit the video ^^
Awesome video,it must have been amazing unforgettable experience.💯👌🏻✌🏻🚴♂️

Com seus 29 anos, você mostrou um lindo Japão. Obrigado
No wonder you had so many punctures, i had like 3 a day when having Gravelking with tubes on rear wheel. The front was tubeless with 0 issues.
Thanks for the video! Some of the cuts were way too short for us though
Thanks for the tips!
Happy birthday Sherry and ride on!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!

I'm so happy.Welcome to Japan.

I was excited to see the video where you cycled on a route I know well.
thank you :)
Happy 18th birthday 😁
thank you :)
Beautiful place, must of been amazing, just purchased my 1st pair of Quoc lace up can't wait to try them 😁👍🚲x
Waoo hope you like them :) thank you
I live in Japan and ride. Nice to see some other awesome routes!
Glad you enjoyed!
it's a great place to celebrate of birthday! happy birthday sherry! 😍
thank you :)
nice job! You should make a video of how to pack for a bike tour.
Thanks for the idea!
14:57 What´s that black tube looking like it´s floating in the air?
Feliz cumpleaños 😂, keep exploring!
Gracias :)
Con gusto.
日本に来てくれてありがとう😊
thank you :)
You must be very very fit after that massive tour of Japan 👏
thank you :) was a fun trip
Beautiful lady, beautiful work with video and bike!
Glad you liked it!
@@Buzzalong.cycling Thank you!I am also road cycling enthusiast and your videos means a lot for me! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Why do you have to put on bandages on your face? To protect for the cold?
Probably sunburn as well
yes from the sun, I had a crash and got scar in my face
So nice , 34th birthday? Happy birthday 🥳
Close! Thank you :)
That was a great ride!!!!
Thank you 🙌🏻
I rode a lot of those roads, and had no issues with flat tyres. I was using tubeless
i had tubes :( next time tubless
The only thing I'm going to change next trip is to wax my chain. Oil chain got dirtier as time went on
Welcome to Japan!
thank you :)
I'm your big fan God bless you
thank you :)
Thankyou for your rply
Happy Birthday!
thank you :)
🎉 hsppy birthday cherry .. its my birthday tomorrow ( 17th june ) .. and id guess you were 21 😂 again 😅😂 .. 🎉 looks like another fabulous Trip ❤
Ah, 21 again! If only we could turn back time like that. Thanks :)

Totally :) Thanks for the tips!
Amazing trip! This goes on my bucket list for sure! How did you do with the language barrier? Do you speak Japanese?
thank you :) I used the google translate app all the time
Awesome views! Anyway we can view the route you take? I can't view it on komoot
Yes, the GPX (komoot collection) is in my blog in the link in the description
h9, any recommendation route in osaka for cycling gravel
thank you :) unfortunately not, we only rode on roads
I'm curious to know what you had in your baggage for backpacking in Japan with this rather cold weather. It really makes me want to take a plane ticket to Japan.
Vincent from the north of France ( Risjel )
thanks Vincent, yeah it was very cold most of the day and when it rains it is heavy rain
Thank you for sharing!
I am also trying to plan a bike packing trip in Japan this fall, and looking at your komoot collection, I noticed that the stages are not publicly accessible? Is this in purpose?
If not, could you make them public so that we can see the route? Thanks!
thank you sorry, I did not realise was still private, I switch them now to public :) hope is useful
At 0:51 the road has some longitudinal grooves.
I saw similar on Mindy's channel (South Korea).
Do they serve a purpose or is it sign of poor quality?
I think they are for the water flow when it rains, you have them everywhere in Japan, mostly on mountain roads, they are actually very slippery when going over them on a bike so I always slowed down when I encounter them
Hi Sherry.Good to see you again. I´m follow you biketours with big interrests.. Is it a Fara Gravel or a Fara All Road. Did you try a Fara Road?
thank you :) for this trip I had the Fara Gravel with 32mm tyres, did not know what to expect in Japan so more versatile
Buzz Along, please forgive my late question. What month did you start cycling in and what month did you end cycling?
thank you :) started and finished in March
@Buzzalong.cycling THANKS! That helps my wife and my plans for cycling the Shikoku Circuit.

thank you :) is a super small light weight bike, I pack it and carry it in my front bottle cage, you can see it in the video
This is so cool but, at least in the beginning of the video, your narration is only in the left headphone lol
thank you🙌 might be the stereo of the mic 😅 I will keep an eye for feature videos
11:42 ... lol, you look funny with that band-aid over your upper lip :)
^^ yeah had a bike accident a few months ago and this was to cover my scar from the sun
Its smart for you to do that! Thanks for showing an example of taking care of your healing as an athlete @@Buzzalong.cycling
Are you on Strava?
Hello! I want to travel across Japan from Fukuoka to Tokyo.
Do you have a saved route? I really liked your video, I want to go to the same places
Hi :) yes you can find all info and route on the blog post on my website, link below: www.buzzalong.cc/post/bikepacking-japan-2-200-km-cycling-adventure-from-hiroshima-to-tokyo
When did you commence the trip?
I was curious too. Looking at some of the on bike footage - camera date says 14/03/2024
Awesome laugh haha
this is the dream
🙌
Which period did you go?
I was curious too. Looking at some of the on bike footage - camera date says 14/03/2024

Verry nice
thank you :)
Do you or your cycling partner speak any japanese? How doable is it without any knowledge of japanese? Great pictures and videos thank you!
Google Translate is an awesome help in Japan. I don't speak any Japanese and was able to navigate fine last time I visited.
thank you, none of us spoke Japanese and in most places they did not speak english so we used google translate all the time
have been to Japan, showed my face 80% of the time, had cero contact to locals.
Hello! Hola! Great video! Wondering if you provide an itinerary somewhere? Thanks you! Gracias!
thank you, you can find the full route and details on my blog, link below: www.buzzalong.cc/post/japan-bikepacking-route-hiroshima-tokyo
What’s causing all the flat tyres?
i think not setting the tyres tubless
@@Buzzalong.cycling perhaps the road surfaces are sharp and jagged on those rough trails? I don’t think you’d want to rely on tubeless for long rides. Tubes are easier to replace. You don’t want to end up with a sticky mess. Keep it simple ☺️
Did you have a tour car or is all your stuff in the bike bags?
I have all my stuff in my bags
@@Buzzalong.cycling That's impressive.

Happy birthday 31
thank you :)
This couple of cyclists is like Don Quichotte and Micomicona going to purchase the Japonese Giant in the Sierra Fuji Yama
I have to say, slightly underwhelmed about cycling in Japan. Very industrial views, busy roads, windy, cold and 7/11's....😏
7/11 in Japan is not what you think - nothing like North America.
I agree on all the scary main roads. Not for me thanks
12:55 title of the music please?
it is an epidemic sound song i think Japan
Happy birthday 🎁🎂❤ how old are you now 😅
