- I've never cycled before. In fact, I've never done any long-distance trekking whatsoever. But riding a bicycle across Japan was on the bucket list, so here we are.

Cycling in Japan is great, and few places are better for cycling than Hokkaido in the summer time. For those looking to do something similar, you might find it easier to find a hotel each night. These can be found for cheap if you take the time to research before your ride, and having a place to stay each night means you don't have to pack and carry nearly as much. Since I live in Japan, it's where I always ride, but I'm looking forward to some riding in North America next year.
Amazing video dude. videos like this inspire me to do the same when im older!
Hey man glad you enjoyed it! I hope you’re able to get out there when the time comes!
just discovered your awesome vid dude. For me it goes to JP in 2 weeks for whole 2 months and you inspired me a lot
I’m happy to hear that :) I hope you enjoy your trip and make some great memories.
Much love! @@fartherout
Biking across Japan is a dream of mine, just the thought of choosing where to go, where to stay. Even the idea of getting lost is somewhat appealing. Amazing video and truly inspiring words!
Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed:) I agree, part of the fun is not having a full and thorough plan. I hope you can cross it off the bucket list!
I am goin to visit Hokkaido next month for first time and ,yup, I have to rent a bicycle to go around.
It could be a short cycling day just for visit stables but this video inspired me a lot!
Thanks !!
I’m glad it did! I hope you enjoy your trip!
Hi Jason, Outstanding video. Thankful you are having fun. You're an incredible young man.
Thank you! And merry Christmas (if you celebrate) or happy holidays otherwise!
Spectacular. Thanks so much for sharing your genuine, detailed reviews. You help those of us who will never be there - be there! Richest blessings on your future.
Thank you so much@@timothyshepodd7826 ! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Happy holidays!
Love the video, very inspiring! Hope to follow your bike path one day!
Thank you!! Hope you find the time! My route might not have been the best but hard to go wrong there!
Super inspiring brother! Ride on
Appreciate it!
This was more informative than I was expecting, thank you!
Did you really have no issues camping in the parks? That's good to know
Glad you liked it! Yep! No issues. I did try to camp in less intrusive spots of course, and left early in the mornings.
Really informative! Can I also ask what camera you used?
Happy you got some info out of it. Sure! I used the GoPro Hero10 Black. I recorded in 2k and personalized the settings
Well done video and well said advice.
Thank you so much!
Is there a reason you decide on a tradational cycle touring setup rather than bikepacking setup ..
Since it was my first tour, I wasn’t certain what I personally needed and would want, and I think the traditional setup gave me more flexibility. Next time I’ll know what I need I think and would absolutely go for the backpacking setup! Not to mention a lighter bike
Did you buy and transport your own bike set up to Japan? Or did you rent a whole bike set up to use once you got to Japan?
I brought a bike with me from the Netherlands as i liked the posture on it. As for the gear, I got it all while in Japan
You make me want to do this
Add it to the bucket list!
First !
Wayne! Hiya I took your advice for the previous couple videos and went for a longer form video. What do you think? Is short better?
@@fartherout Your content is great. I don't know the CZcams algorithms and I'm sure they change by the moment. I've heard they must be longer than 8 minutes to count for X. (Whatever X is.) I also have seen one automotive CZcamsr with millions of subscribers who posts videos that are ten minutes and a few seconds. I'll admit, I am biased. I could listen to you talk about your journey for hours. I believe as long as you keep it interesting, people will watch. Hope this helps...somehow.
@@fartherout FYI - your Instagram link is still broken. :)
Absolutely it helps I appreciate the input. I believe it needs to be 8 minutes to play mid roll ads, which are additional ads in the middle of the video to produce more revenue. But I have noticed the 10 minute videos and I’m not sure why. Something I’ll have to look into 🤔
Just fixed it! Finally! Thank you!
you look too soft
