Thanks for posting, I was missing your videos - best cycle touring channel on KZread in my opinion & you definitely deserve more subscribers!

Everytime I watch videos of cycling in Japan I get this ache. It's been 5 years and I still have done nothing with all the video I shot because I get sad whenever I try to edit it.😂

The scenery and mellow music made me think of a Miyazaki film.

I love the nature in Japan, what a beautiful place !!!

Thanks for showing us how beautiful Japan is. I really enjoyed this, cheers!

What a route. If only we had the time to follow. 2 countries and all those miles and smiles. Amazing. 👍

was getting worried about you folks, good to see you back

Layover in Germany on way to Alaska …. quite the flight. Looking forward to the next phase . Always great to see you two.

Thank you for sharing your impressions with us! It's very interesting how the rural Japan looks like

So beautiful, northern Japan!

Wait a sec... layover in Germany onto Alaska? That's kinda the wrong way LOL... I would love to cycle thru Japan like you did in the future... Love watching your video

I cycled along your gpx track in Thailand from Phuket to the golden Triangle. It was amazing! I left the track in Laos to get into north Vietnam and Hanoi and will meet it again in Ha Thin Till Da Nang! Thank you so much. It was very very helpful! Alexander

Another great video. I don't know how you guys do it, how you keep your spirits up in those rainy days, but you did it. And welcome back to N. Am., can't wait to see what's next.

Those ravens were always stealing my food when I lived in Hokkaido and went camping! Great video, enjoy Alaska!

Great series, thanks for taking us along.

Beautiful shot at 12:35 🍵

Very interesting. I would have loved a wrap up video about ur feelings for this whole trip in Asia. With advices and suggestions of the highlights. Thanks for posting ur content. Very nicely made.

Thanks for the suggestion! We've been thinking about doing some retrospective videos about bigger regions so good to know that folks would be interested in that!

What a great video - Hokkaido looks beautiful! A cycle trip there is definitely on my bucket list.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!

Great video. Tnx and good luck

Another great video. What a fantastic country, would love to visit one day.

Thanks for taking us along in your final segment in Japan. I can't wait to see the videos in Alaska. I have thought about the Prudhoe Bay to lower 48 ride and thinking the logistics might be daunting. You all are awesome!

A new episode, finally!!! ❤❤

Very happy to find you taking us along through Japan . I love to discover other places in the world . See you hopefully here soon again . . Greetings from France . ☀️☀️

love it, nice video. Cycling around Japan always amazing whatever the weather....

I ALWAYS warn people about 'Golden Week' happenstance. Traffic, crowds, closed stores/accommodations (they want to go on holiday too) , full parks (which at times can be fun). Yes, those are tactically placed cement caltrops to prevent ocean erosion. Was wondering what you might encounter in road closures since the 1/1 earthquake. Surprised you only ran into one. +1 Japan's infrastructure upkeep! Kaiyo maru replica, nice!🚲

Nice video i love it

i cycle in japan for nearly 1 year but in same roots .nice video.

Finally

Japan's population is decreasing due to the declining birthrate. The rural areas of Hokkaido are particularly characterized by many depopulated areas. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't encounter a big brown bear😊😊😊😊 The towns of Esashi, Yakumo, and Suttsu on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido are This is a road that I often use by car.

This was great. Enjoyed the ride! Having been to Japan on business over the years... I know how daunting Shinjuku Station can be (without large luggage).

Very brautiful place

I would of got my bike over that gate & boogied on. LOL love this vlog. New follower. Keep it up.

We've done that a few times and it almost always works out... but the one time we did it in Japan, a bridge was completely destroyed from an earthquake and we had to backtrack :(. No video of that though, it was in 2018 before we filmed our trips.

How can you bike consistently without any pain in the groin / rear area? Should I do bike fitting?

Thanks for sharing, it looks like an amazing trip. Did you feel comfortable leaving your bikes in front of convenience stores/restaurants? Did you use locks or just keep an eye out?

@RollingExistence

Bike theft (and theft in general) is very rare in Japan and we were never too worried about leaving them unlocked outside for a short period of time. We would still try to park them so that we could see them through a window, and we did carry a lock for cases where we'd be away from them for a few hours.

Which way would you take from Tokyo to Aomori city but passing through nagano prefecture and Ginzan onsen? I'm slowly planning my backpacking trip but I still have a lot to organize :)

incredrible! where you used to take a bath?

Well yea..Wonderful nature..Japan is going on my list. Is it easy to wild camp? How come there almost no human encounters in this film ?

@RollingExistence

Wild camping in Japan is quite easy and safe, but it's not explicitly legal . We don't film strangers very often, in most situations we don't feel it's appropriate. We met many wonderful people in Japan but filming our interactions with them and putting it on KZread just isn't something we do.

As far as cycling goes, definitely Shikoku. The coastline was spectacular and there was relatively low traffic. It's more rural though, we would definitely recommend seeing Tokyo and Kyoto as well. We'd like to ride more of Hokkaido at some point as well, we barely scratched the surface of the island and we've heard the northern areas are fantastic.

They are indeed breakwater contraptions.

Yes, unfortunately that was the cheapest way to get from Japan to Alaska. We had a really long layover in Frankfurt so we got to explore the city a bit.
