- This is the final part on our 夏休み (summer break) cycling trip from Kanazawa (金沢) in Ishikawa Prefecture to Matsumoto (松本) in Nagano Prefecture and back again. It was 430 miles (692km) and 33,192 ft (10,117m) total over one week.
This part is about our rest day in Matsumoto, and the final two days of riding - including our longest day to get to Shirakawa-go, over 10,000 feet of climbing in 93 miles! We also get to see Matsumoto Castle (松本城), one of only 12 remaining original castles in Japan.

Do you need to book Guest houses or hostels in advance?
I don't think you have to, but then you're gambling with a place maybe not having room, or even being maybe not open if its a small family run place. We just booked ahead to play it safe. There are lots you can book online if you can't call
This series was absolutely amazing, your narration mixes perfectly with the stunning footage. It comes of as very authentic and calming, but at the same time informative. Love it.
Wow thank you, that makes me so happy to hear!!
Looks like a lovely ride. Your narration style is very good, by the way. Just the right amount of speaking.
Thank you so much for saying that, I'm so happy to hear!
Thank you for sharing the details about your route! I'm looking forward to Norikura Skyline opening, hope to ride there in the future! Best of luck from Europe!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm sure it will open again, I just don't know when 😄 Good luck on your future rides too!
Great series! The background/info on your destinations/points of interest is really informative, good job on the homework!
That means a lot, thank you! I appreciate you always watching/commenting!
@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere hey, hope you both are safe?
Crazy start for the new year!
It was a little crazy! Thank you for checking in though, yes we are both ok and safe ❤@@TonyPretty
Great series of videos. You have a talent for telling a story. The trip reminds me of a Tokyo to Kyoto loop I did a few years ago that went through Matsumoto and Kanazawa before skirting Lake Biwa. :)
Thank you, that means a lot! What a cool sounding trip, that's a lot of distance covered! Are the roads around Tokyo and Kyoto difficult to navigate? I imagine there would be a lot of traffic
Kyoto isn't so bad, but Tokyo is pretty hectic so you have to have your wits about you and take care of the taxis. The trip to Kyoto via Nagano, Ishikawa and Fukui was around 850km. Unfortunately, I had to contend with a typhoon that year, so it was pretty wet!@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere
I bet! That sounds like a cool experience, though rainy weather makes everything feel a lot harder! @@kuri8015
Wow, amazing views! I’m not a big fan of long rides/bike trips but after I start watching your guys videos get me excited to try. Looking forward to try next summer. 🚴♂️ ✌️
That's so nice to hear, thank you! Hope you have a great summer!
Great job on the series as a whole! They were some your best videos yet. Also loved seeing Shirakawago again in this video; from the wooded mountains to the thatched houses, that place is just so pretty!
That means a lot from someone who's been watching for a while, thank you!! It really is so pretty 😄
Always look for your next video. Thanks that was a really good one.
That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much!
Yep, another good one. It's a great feeling when you reach your digs for the evening after a long, tough ride and to end the ride in the rain, very refreshing after riding in the heat all day, gives a great sense of achievement and calm.
Yes, you know the feeling! I was so relieved after finishing that day - I know we had one day left still but I felt so accomplished then :) Thanks for watching!
inside view of the castle is amazing. All the woods used in making the castle. Thank, excellent video as always
Thank you again for watching! I was so impressed by the castle too, especially since the wood structure has survived for so many generations
They were master carpenters. Someday I will be in Japan. Definitely will stop by some castles. Thank again. I will watch this one a couple more times, I like this one@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere
I'm so happy to hear, thank you! Yes the castles are really cool, I hope you can see them one day soon @@danthaikabuki6115
