- ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Since I started this CZcams channel,
Many people asked me many times,
“I want to see a video of your bamboo bike trip!”
So today I would like to FINALLY share with you my " 2019 North and South American Bamboo Bike Trip".
The concept of this trip was "Sharing Japanese culture to locals while riding my bamboo bike."
In this video, I would like to share five things that I learned during the trip.
WHO AM I:
Welcome to samurai matcha journey! I'm Aki, a minimalist, kimono style school teacher in Japan. I make videos about my usual life in really country side of Japan. You can enjoy beautiful scenery, learn about Japan, and pick up some interesting lifestyle tips.

This video made me tear up, especially learning about Jay. There's still goodness in this world. Another great video! Peace.
traveling by bike really opens your mind about that, i did only a short trip of a week and chenged completely my mind about people
Hey Aki, thank you for sharing the bamboo bike that we made. A bicycle for me is only a tool and I as a "toolmaker", my target is always to make a tool that fits perfectly to the body and reflects the personality of the user. The bamboo bike is strong, but you are stronger. And thank you for appearing in the TV mini-documentary about my job. Waiting for your visit here in Osaka again. Take care!
Definitely I will!! I always appreciate your fantastic job. Thank to your bike I'm still alive. haha Thank you so much;-D
@@SamuraiMatcha Sometimes when I go to Namba I see a kimono store and remember you!
Hi, @gerworks do you ship to Florida?
@@kristenbrown4273 Hi Kristen, sorry about the late reply. Thank you for your message. We can ship to Florida, check this link: www.cyclingexpress.com/brandpage/jp_gerworks_876.html I can make a simpler frame and the price is cheaper. What kind of bicycle do you want? A tourer, racer, single-speed? We can develop a bicycle for your needs and for the amount of money that you want to spend.
These videos makes our days better
It makes me sad to know that people from other countries view Americans as being all gun-happy violent criminals, but trust me, there are plenty of us who would give the shirt off our back to help someone in need, no matter where they come from. Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm so glad you met Jay and I hope he represents, in your mind at least, how we really are :)
I know it now. I was just really worried and crazy. I love Americans!
@@SamuraiMatcha We love you too!
very good video we all admire people with a love of life we watch a person swimming in a river and watch them enjoy themselves but if we see some one swimming in the ocean swimming against the strong currant we admire them
I enjoy this video way more than "a little". Great insight.
Wow - what a trip! So glad you met Jay.
Awesome video! I'd love to see you in Germany :)
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing Matcha in USA 🙏🏽💖🍵
Thanks for sharing all these lessons Aki! I really enjoyed it. Glad you met Jay. Sometimes we are reminded of that the world has kind thoughtful souls.
If you ever planned to go to Europe, please do come to the Czech Republic. I'd be happy to let you stay at our place for as many nights as needed. I also know many people who'd be interested in the tea ceremony.
Fallen in love with your channel and minimalism as a whole too. I am in a very poor mental state, but your content brings me clarity and hope/confidence in the world, future, and myself. Keep up the great work, friend!
Thank you for sharing. This video was amazing.
The wild Atlantic way, in Ireland is an amazing bike trip
I enjoyed this video. Greetings from Mexico!
That is seriously so cool!
you are the best youtuber ever!!!!
The story about Jay made me tear up 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Hi! The people in your way only reflects what you are inside. What a beatiful journey and video. Happy to knows more about you.
Thank you for the other great video! Hope to see you some day in Hong Kong!
It takes a brilliant man to adapt to problems this way.
I've been practicing minimalism for years now, but somehow I got tempted from advertising. Seeing your videos being recommended by YT is such a blessing so I can truly embody minimalism and get inspiration to continue. Please come to the Philippines so we can make matcha together!
Very enjoying this video 🙏 thanks
I feel like giving water to someone is mostly a dessert thing. I went on a road trip through South Australia with a native and we stopped several times to give water or even all the food we had with us to people who were stranded due to car troubles. I think in areas with extreme weather there is a stronger sense of community, at least in regards of surviving the extreme conditions. Maybe we are more reserved towards strangers here because the most dangerous thing isn't weather conditions or wildlife, it's people...
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just built my own bamboo bike and it was great to hear your first hand knowledge of using your bike in extreme conditions. You were wise to drop all that weight.
thank you for your videos!
Your channel is really inspiring. I just went through all your videos in a couple of days. Even if you just do this on the side of your job as a teacher, keep doing it! 🙏
You break through the box of minimalists. This is the whole new level. You inspire me!
Thank you 🙏 Aki San. Keep living and sharing your truth!
Can we talk about how you are just casually doing a handstand in one of the scenes here?! 😯 Amazing!
Amazing....!!!
Glad your are back with new videos !!! That is such a beautiful way to talk about minimalism and your way of sharing culture is really interesting. I hope you come visit Europe and more precise France ! Hope you are doing fine have a good day !!
Woooow te esperamos en Argentina ❤ un abrazo gigante y gracias por tanto amor y gratitud. Me encanta escuchar tus enseñanzas. También deseo conocer Japón 🥰❤️🌱🌎
Hi Aki, you are not just my favourite CZcamsr, but I have difficulty deciding which of your videos, I enjoy the most, you are so inspiring. "Heavy luggage eaquals death, " that's powerful. I am working on organizing my house, parting with possessions can be painful, so as I work, I take breaks by looking at your videos, they are the perfect treat to inspire me, non-fattening too! LOL Please would you make a video about Japanese gardens and koi fish? I love your videos where you show the Japanese countryside. You inspire me to live a more balanced life, thank you so much, Aki, I am so glad I found your videos.
Sorry for my typo, meant to say "..equals death, NOT eaquals!
何時かフィンランドも来てください。🍵😊
Mad props to Jay o7
Yes, please come with your bamboo bike to germany :D
Thank you!!
*with you, I learn English, Minimalism, juice of living..and more more things ! So THANK YOU 🤗👍*
*Big hugs from France 🇫🇷🇫🇷*
I have been so sad lately but this made my mood better knowing that one day I want to travel and connect with people throughout the world! Lots of love to your channel!🍵🌟
Great video ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos always give me the biggest happy feeling. Your smile is infectious.
Thank you so much;-D

I absolutely love your channel. Your content is very inspiring! You are doing such great work, thanks so much for your contributions to humanity through spreading information about minimalism, and more.
Come to Bariloche, Patagonia Argentina!

I’m so inspired by your adventures! I have worried about going to Japan alone 😋
Thanks so much Aki, gracias por compartir tus experiencias 😊
Thank you for this. We'd love to see you in New Zealand 💙
Do you have any ideas for a person that is a hobbyist but also want to get more minimal without throwing away all the stuff I need for my hobbys? Larp, Roleplay, Tabletop...
Awesome!!
An absolute legend you are
Come to Brazil. Id love to try that matcha! hahahah
I looked up how to get a bamboo bicycle. It's not easy to do if you are stuck in US...but I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank you. I am learning so much from you. Please come visit New Zealand and make some tea for me. That would be awesome!
Another amazing video Aki, thank you. I have similar experience from running ultra trail marathons. You have only few things in small running backpack, and you running.
Excellent keep biking.
If You'd ever come to ride Your bike through Germany, Poland or the Netherlands, i'd be happy and honoured to drink Matcha with You.
you should come to byron bay area, where i live. it's incredibly beautiful and gorgeous landscape with rolling hills, jungle trees, and vast mountains! you would love it for sure
Love this video! Yes please come to New Zealand Wellington to make matcha!!! Since watching your channel, I have become a matcha fan and drink matcha everyday, so nice and it gives me lots of energy. Sending you best wishes and love from New Zealand 😊
Man that sounds like so much fun and interesting I hope one day you come to mongolia and make matcha with me or maybe I'll go to Japan and meet you thank you for the great videooo
come to Prague in the heart of Europe. :) and we will give you a tour. my son is learning Japanese, loves your culture, and tends to be a minimalist as well. ;)
Aki-san, it's been cool discovering your videos! I just came back from Oita, Japan - one of the few foreigners allowed because of work.
I admit that it was a bit challenging for me as I am a "weird" person and different from most. But your videos are encouraging and healing.
Looking forward to visiting Japan again.
Hello Aki, I recently discovered your channel and I'm already a big fan! I hope you can come to Europe one day, we are waiting for you in France to drink a cup of matcha together :)
Sure!!!
I'd love to see you in Australia. Great videos. We can't wait to get back to Japan in 2023. We fell in love with Japan 6 years ago, but haven't been able to go back since covid. 💔
If you ever go to Dublin town....a hundred thousands welcomes await you!
I believe that there is more good people than you realize. Unfortunately you only hear or see the bad in the media, not the good. Hope you travel in the USA again in the future, the west is just one part of our large country. Thank you for your videos!
amazing video! if you ever come to England I would love to show you around Cambridge!
Hey Aki I really enjoyed this video! Jay's story are so wonderfull 💚 please come to Spain and made some matcha! This is a beautifull country and we aren't dancing Sevillanas all the time 💃🤣 in fact Sevillanas are only typical for an specific region. We have a lot of cultural stereotypes, that's because travelling is the best way to break frontiers 💚 mmm delicious matcha!!!! 😅
Lovely video. I hope you come to the UK one day x
That's an impressive bike
ノルウェーに来てください😄
Super Video! Nice to see you in Vienna, Austria

Come to Sydney, Australia. 🇦🇺
Yeah!
Thank you!!
hi aki
i would like to know your thoughts as a minimalist about fasting from eat and drink
thanks, you motivated me all day
Will you be bike riding around Biwako and visiting Harie ? Have visited Japan 6 times (4 cancelled trips due to covid 🙄) looking forward to returning soon 🤗 Pls come to Australia, you're most welcome 🇦🇺
Thank you!! I'll go!!
Ah, I noticed you made some videos about your trip already. How about linking them in the descriptions. That's where I usually look for things like this :-)
Most Americans are good people, just like Japan! 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 ☺️
Bring the Matcha! I can't make it foam up the way it's supposed to!
I love this video. Sounds like you had a great trip and yes there are still very nice people in America and Canada. You are so very cute with your long hair 🥰
Haha! Thank you!!
🤗💖
😁
Hey I just bought a match tea set and some match powder, when you make it what is your water to matcha "scoop" ratio?
I need to try macha
Did you know that macha means pee on russian?🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
💞💖💞💖💞🤗
Your bike has a lot of stuff compared to mine. You must be working harder when pedaling.
Go to the Philippines 🎉🚴🙏
Can you do a video on what you packed for your bamboo bike trip and what you would bring if you did it again
I hope I might see in Germany but maybe I will be in Japan first ;)
Yeah!!
I met very kind and helpful people during my alone trip in USA, many years ago, me too ☺️
