    • I agree some videos are already sponsored by the province and yet they are still advertising other products instead of focusing on good content. Plus some are so whiny, I just want to appreciate the view and the experience.

  • Hi everyone I am a Japanese person who happened to meet this video. In the summer of 2023, I traveled by bicycle from around Mount Fuji to places like Kyoto, Osaka and Ehime.I also used ships. "It has been more than half a year since my trip, but I was able to remember the wind at that time, the time at the rest area where I stopped by, and the casual scenery that soothes my mind and body." 日本に来てくれてありがとう😊

  • I cycled around Tokyo - Odaiba - Yokohama with my Helix Ti folding bike this time last year, and I can't imagine lugging 2 full bike boxes on the train from Narita? to Tokyo. I left my bike bag with the airport luggage transport valet and received it at my hotel the next day. The goal of that trip was to bike from the foot of Fuji-san (Kawaguchiko near Lake Yamanaka) to Odaiba. The weather did not cooperate (snow), so I cycled around Tokyo. Hope to do similar as you the next time. Thanks for sharing!
