  • Early morning cycling in Japan, 6am commute by bike to Sakae in Nagoya, Japan.
    Experience the early morning commute in Japan as the city roads start to come alive. Lots of commuters on bikes, walking, driving in cars, and taking the subway along the way.
    Today's route I am going from Higashiyama Park to Sakae Station in central Nagoya.
    I am staying on the sidewalk in the nice wide cycling lanes. It is nice at this time of the day with fewer pedestrians on the bike path.
    What do you think about cycling in Japan? Notice anything interesting along the way? Let me know in the comments!

    Nice riding mamachari (i guess) by your wife and very good English commentator from you..😊👍
    American English very easy to understand for me.. compare to British or others countries because of their accent...
    Riding mamachari is another level...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Hi Cruise ... nice video nice to see how it's going in Japan ... in the video you mentioned how the trash was collected and the problems with the crows ... after watching the video I watched, on German TV, a docu about the trash and crow problem in Tokyo, and I thought what a coincidence :-)
