I wish more TH-cam videos were like this. No obnoxious commentary or unnecessary self-promotion. Just a well edited, immersive video showcasing your adventure. Good job!
I agree some videos are already sponsored by the province and yet they are still advertising other products instead of focusing on good content. Plus some are so whiny, I just want to appreciate the view and the experience.
@@LE-LU I can only agree, especially the scenic shots of the mountainous landscapes and forests are absolutley stunning! The contrast to the absolutley huge cities must be incredible!
What I like about this journey is that you capture a lot of moments. It's not about speed, it's not about hundred kms per day. It's just cycling and enjoying the journey. Great video!
Thank you for the beautiful video. I did the same bike journey in 2015 with three of my best friends. An absolutely unforgettable experience and one of the best things I’ve done in my life. Your video brought me back to that time. Thank you so much.
Beautiful video! I did a similar route in 2020 during Covid. Nara and Kyoto were deserted as tourists were not allowed in Japan. It was an amazing ride. If you come back to Japan to cycle, I highly recommend cycling in Shikoku. It is like a time-slip...
During May to September 2023, I was in Japan. You undertook the journey I wished I could have experienced - exploring Japan by bike. Thank you for sharing your account.
Great video. I did this ride last year while I was living in Japan. It made me so nostalgic. The riding in Japan is world class and I can't wait to go back and experience more of it.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with the world. Such a beautiful showcase of a country I plan to visit next year with my partner. I was expecting a typical bike packing video with two dudes who aren't very funny or interesting talking too much, but this was art. :)
Awww, heartwarming and a lot of saudade. Beautifully made! I loved the forests in particular, what a glory. ❤ And the spirit of Japaness transport personnel has maybe never been captured more adequately with the still of the wheel stoppers put on the inside of both wheels on the ferry.
What a beautiful movie. So calm and captivating with perfect music. The scenery and nature was really one of the kind. Traveling through Japan is one of my biggest dreams.
Hi everyone I am a Japanese person who happened to meet this video. In the summer of 2023, I traveled by bicycle from around Mount Fuji to places like Kyoto, Osaka and Ehime.I also used ships. "It has been more than half a year since my trip, but I was able to remember the wind at that time, the time at the rest area where I stopped by, and the casual scenery that soothes my mind and body." 日本に来てくれてありがとう😊
This was beautiful. The scenes, your editing, the music choice. Loved every second! Shoutout to the youtube algorithm for bringing me here lol Can’t wait for more of your trips!
Beautifully shot and edited, with lovely music. Can't wait for more videos of this quality! The pleasure of strolling through the streets of towns and villages, the very special atmosphere of these streets, the landscape scenes... everything reminds me of my many books by Japanese photographers.
Love the artistry of the bamboo forest for instance. No language barrier with the video, apart from the writing of the day’s episode. I have the bell on if you two post another video. Thanks.
I went to Japan for the first time earlier this year and miss it, which is how I found this video. Thanks for the lovely memories and showing me so many parts of the country I didn't get to see on that visit!
I cycled around Tokyo - Odaiba - Yokohama with my Helix Ti folding bike this time last year, and I can't imagine lugging 2 full bike boxes on the train from Narita? to Tokyo. I left my bike bag with the airport luggage transport valet and received it at my hotel the next day. The goal of that trip was to bike from the foot of Fuji-san (Kawaguchiko near Lake Yamanaka) to Odaiba. The weather did not cooperate (snow), so I cycled around Tokyo. Hope to do similar as you the next time. Thanks for sharing!
Did almost the same route by car just recently. It's so beautiful and I'm very jealous of you having gone through it without rushing! For anyone wanting to replicate this, I'd recommend having a day break in an onsen and visiting Koyasan in addition to this route.
Really nicely done. The video and edit capture the feeling of rural Japan. I have hiked the Japanese Alls and skied there and in Hokkaido. It is all so beautiful. Biking is next!
I can't add anything meaningful to what people have said...exquisitely simple and peaceful. So well put together...I didn't want it to stop! Yes, awesome tranquil soundtrack too. Thanks for sharing your experience in the way you did. More please.
This was a truly amazing video. I found it while contemplating a bike tour in Japan and it was definitely inspiring. I found myself immersed in your experience.. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing video guys, the music was mega perfect too. Was going to comment and ask who it was but then the credits came up. Great video and great taste in music, good on you guys
This is an absolute chin dropping video! There are so many carefully selected shots that create a truly mesmerizing dreamlike atmosphere. What I really enjoyed was the attention to the little details like leaves swaying in the wind or a man staring at the ocean. Thank you very much for these calming 16 minutes!
Very well edited and beautifully constructed. For others, Kyoto was never bombed during WW2 and is like stepping back in time. I like the idea of making the rollers which you can reuse .. smart
It’s feeling like “appreciate” why you guys came to Japan which is my country and You guys really had a fun while stay in Japan I don’t know how much struggle to bring your bikes to Japan but It was amazing idea!It’s genius trip plan! I wanna try one day Tokyo to Kyoto with my bike because I’m living in Japan and I’m Japanese that I should do as soon as Thank you made comfortable video!I glad to discover this!
Thanks! Very enjoyable video. Personally so nostalgic too! Years ago, when I lived in Japan, I used to ride weekly between Kyoto and Obama, ~90km, through the mountains. Return ride was usually at the sunrise (after a night shift), and those moments of riding through foggy mountain forests, lit by early sunlight, remain the best moments of my whole life!
You couldn’t have picked a better soundtrack for this video. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan and this looks like a great way to see it. Thanks for the video.
Lovely video. It brought back many of our own memories cycling from Tokyo to Kitakyushu in March and April 23. Such a fantastic place to ride isn't it? It's interesting to compare our routes! We're slowly editing all our videos and will be posting more throughout the year. I'm wishing I chose not to do voice overs after watching yours - it takes ages! 😅 Looking forward to seeing more cycling content from you.
I wish more TH-cam videos were like this. No obnoxious commentary or unnecessary self-promotion. Just a well edited, immersive video showcasing your adventure. Good job!
Much appreciated! That was the intention 🙌🏻 thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree
I absolutely agree!!👍🏼
I agree some videos are already sponsored by the province and yet they are still advertising other products instead of focusing on good content. Plus some are so whiny, I just want to appreciate the view and the experience.
ngl, i like the commentary-- it's stimulating while i multitask
I’m a Japanese living in the US. Thank you for sharing us a lot of beautiful scenes in Japan. This is truly amazing video!
This means a lot! Thank you so much!
Why would you leave that beautiful place
Honestly your country is beautiful. Hope i will visit it one day. Hello from a french guy
@@LE-LU I can only agree, especially the scenic shots of the mountainous landscapes and forests are absolutley stunning! The contrast to the absolutley huge cities must be incredible!
This is the most peaceful video I ever seen.
Memories feels like this, short moving images with a spark of sound. 🌠
One of the most elegant bikepacking videos I've seen. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
What I like about this journey is that you capture a lot of moments. It's not about speed, it's not about hundred kms per day. It's just cycling and enjoying the journey. Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the way we captured our journey!
Absolutely beautiful! Cycling Japan is on my bucket list.
Thank you!
日本人ですが、余計な言葉がない分とても五感を刺激する素晴らしい旅動画でした。
音楽も良くて、かなり大変なロードトリップなはずなのに心地よく見れました。
ぜひまた日本に走りに来てください！
次の動画も楽しみにしてます。
とても素晴らし動画でした。日本人でありながら、海外を見ているようで素敵な気持ちになりました。ありがとう。
Attaching wheels on to your bike box is the smartest thing I've ever seen. Will definitely use this trick for my trip!
I love the trees from this video. Nature is overwhelming. The tranquility . This is Life. Thank you.
That’s exactly how it felt to be there in person, and we’re really happy that we’re able to convey that feeling in video too! Thank you.
Make sure to watch this forest focused one as well: 5 Minute Forest Bathing Experience in Japan - 森林浴

One of the most beautiful films about cycling ♥️
Wow, thanks so much!!!
The trouble of going to Japan is that at some point you have to leave and going back to your normal life. Very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with the world. Such a beautiful showcase of a country I plan to visit next year with my partner. I was expecting a typical bike packing video with two dudes who aren't very funny or interesting talking too much, but this was art. :)
Lovely production. Just scenery and views. Loved pure B Roll edit.
Awww, heartwarming and a lot of saudade. Beautifully made! I loved the forests in particular, what a glory. ❤
And the spirit of Japaness transport personnel has maybe never been captured more adequately with the still of the wheel stoppers put on the inside of both wheels on the ferry.
Nice! Thank you. Nice that you noticed the interesting details!
Thanks for sharing, beautiful pictures!!

Thanks for this beautiful video. ❤ #greetings from Bali, Indonesia.
Not the type of bikepacking I like, but I definitely appreciate the variety you're bringing to the community. Keep it up!
Quiet, peaceful, mesmerizing and meditative video.
