  • I came back to Japan to see my grandma. Regrettably, she passed away after I spent one final moment with her. Today I wanted to take her bike from Maebashi to my hometown, Myogi, which is about 45 km away. I hope you enjoy my last ride with my grandma!

What wonderful moments together...you, your sister and your grandma's bike. Thank you so much for sharing the sights of your beautiful countryside. Those were some serious steep hills!!!!

    Great to see a tour of your home town via bike. Riding is the best way to slow down and really see the sights.

    Hi Yuka, sorry about your grandma, but what a nice way to say goodbye doing this ride of your old neighbourhoods. When I was in high school I got my grandma's old bike and rode with my friends up and down hills and forests long before MTB was a word. Keep your chin up and have fun.

    Sorry for your loss, but it was interesting to see you ride this long without a single gap jump. You're still a very good narrator. While you were in Japan did you ride any MTB trails (not on your grandmother's bike), that would be interesting to see. I look forward to your continued adventures and がんばって ! ☺

    懐かしい、ね? Riding down that long straight road from high school probably brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing. I lived near Fukuoka for a while many years ago so it was nice to see and hear a bit of Japan again. Looking forward to visiting again soon :) Glad you and your grandmother could go on a bit of an adventure together.

    My condolences Yuka, for sure you have a lovely childhood with your grandma. Same as my happy childhood with my bmx bikes (in the 70s and 80s) with Japan made parts lthat were really really so tough, but were quite pricey though. Love to see more you cycling in Japan 😍 Power on!

    Would love to seem more videos about riding bicycles in Japan, especially from an MTB riders point. NHK has a series of videos about riding road bikes. There are some Japanese language MTB channels, but I’ve not found too much mountain biking in Japan content in English as I would thought was out there.
