- We are two exchange students at Waseda University in Tokyo. During the Golden Week of 2022, we decided to cycle from Tokyo to Osaka in 4 days. The trip was amazing and afterward, we stayed for a couple of days in Osaka & Kyoto.
The route is available on Strava:
/ strava
Songs used in the video:
Ehrling - Blissful
Vindu & Nogymx - Lost in Tokyo
DaniSogen - Road to Kiyomizu
Speechless - Shangri-La
RUDE - Eternal Youth
Vindu - Japanese Spring
Japan perfect, respect for me
This is fantastic. I hoping to do some cycling in Japan in future. Thanks for the inspiration.
Loved your ride guys, well done on documenting the adventure. Nice effort keeping things simple and fun. Will try the ride this year myself.
Crazy job done. Awesome guys
Nice adventure video.
What an adventure! really enjoyed the video, Thanks for sharing !!
Amazing what you guys did!!!
That’s so cool👍
Awesome video. My dream is to bikepack Japan one day but with a longer timeframe. May I know what bikes did you both use/bring with you? Thanks!
I had a Giant TCR made of alloy and my friend bought a Ripstop, which is made out of steel. Suggest you just go to a second hand bike shop and find yourself a good one. You can resell it later for the same price
Soooo jealous😍
Me go next time too
LESSSSSSGOOOOO FRATIELLIIIII 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Mooie video! Ik wil dezelfde trip doen
Cooking them japanese roads🍳
Wow, hard work! Do u plan to extend your ride somedays?
Might do a trip from Amsterdam to Berlin later ;)
Did you take the bicycles into the Shinkansen train back to Tokyo? How did that work? Is that allowed?
Yes we took the bikes in the Shinkansen, it is free of charge but you will need to put them in a rinko bag. Usually they would cost 40 dollars.
Hi Timothy! The link for the Strava is directed to your profile instead of the trip itself. Can you please share the route directly? Many thanks forward! Peter

Thank you very much @@talkaboutbackpacking ! Works fine! Do you have any quick tips or points which should/has to be changed according to your personal experience?
Really fantastic 😍
Can you recommend any bicycle for long trip Within country 😂
I live in japan 🇯🇵
Any road bike will do the job actually; Binco bought a bike at a discount shop and the experience was still amazing 😁
@@talkaboutbackpacking binco or bianchi? Actually I searched but can't find binco bicycle 😞
@@HunzaInJapan hahah no Binco is the Italian friend. Any bike will do but would say that Giant is a perfect affordable option
Hi guys
Great video.I am planning to cycle Sapporo to Nagasaki this April and would like to ask you where you would lock your bikes at the hotels/ryokans you stayed at? Would it be realistic to leave the bikes in a storage room or brought up into the room in a rinko bag? Any advice you would offer would be greatly appreciated especially concerning which type of bike lock to use.Thanks for any advice you can share.
Hi Bernie, thank you! We used fairly simple locks to secure the bikes. We used a Abus lock but also recommend to buy at a Don Quijote, great value for money! We mostly stored the bikes in the accomodation since people are super friendly, especially when you tell them about your trip! Good luck!!
@@talkaboutbackpacking Great thank you so much for the reply!
Hello, planning a ride from Tokyo to Kyoto hopefully in December. Could I check what was your budget set aside for such a trip? And what bags did you use? Considering a bike-mounted one vs carrying on my back like you guys.
Really inspired by your trip :)
Thank you! During the trip, we spent around 5000 yen each day. This includes the hostel/hotel, food and drinks. We got all our food at the convenience stores.
We used just our backpack and a small bag which was mounted on the frame (just a 500 yen bag from Amazon), mainly for chain oil, extra inner tubes and tire levers. Luckily, our friends brought some of our luggage on the plane for the stay in Osaka/Kyoto.
Hope you will a nice trip!
@@talkaboutbackpacking alright thank you so much! Hopefully I’ll get to see the awesome views myself! Take care :)
Where to next?
Hokkaido? Ask Binco, he's getting old 😂
haha
