any tips for bikepacking in Japan?

I don't have many bikepacking tips unfortunately since usually we would just ride and sleep in hotels or ryokans rather than go camping. I have one video about bikepacking on the Amaharashi Coast that could maybe give you some insight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHqpp6Kse7p6eJo

Iya is one of my favourite memories from cycling in 2023. From Tokushima to Oboke through Mt. Tsurugi and the Iya Valley. Nagoro, Ochiai, vine bridges, snakes on the road and the feeling of being almost the only living human around. Truly a great way to clear your head.

Yeah, mega guys. I live in Wakayama, its the best for cycling. In 199? I rode from Wakayama city to Taichi along the coast. It was new year and freezing cold but it didn't worry me when I was young then. But a huge storm came up an I had to catch the train back. The station master complained about me not having a bag at Kushimoto station, but when a local train came along he saw it as an opportunity to get rid of a problem and said get on even without a ticket (of course I paid on the train). I kind of dream of riding it again even at 61yo.

I think they pump your gas in Oregon and New Jersey. Curious. How much are the tolls for the roads?
@AnniewhereAndEverywhereАй бұрын
thats cool! I haven't driven a car in either of those states yet so my first experience like that at a gas station was in Japan haha. Tolls vary pretty widely based on where you are in the country, the time of day you're driving, and the size of your car. For example, we were in a "lightweight car" and 4 hours of driving cost us 6000 yen in central japan, 3000 yen in Akita and Aomori prefectures, and 300 yen in the north of Aomori. It's hard for me to make a general guess, but this website lets you calculate tolls ahead of time in english if you know where/when you're driving and want a better estimate: search.w-nexco.co.jp/en/

The shaved ice was not on the menu anymore at one of the spots sadly, but we a great cup of tea and some mochi there. Thanks again! We had an amazing time exploring the lovely streets of Kanazawa while having amazing icecream.

Hi guys. I’ve only recently discovered your KZbin channel and I am loving it. I am planning to spend three months in Japan next year cycling south to north. Just wondering, can you tell me the average cost of an overnight stay in a guest house? Thanks heaps.
@AnniewhereAndEverywhere2 ай бұрын
That sounds like an awesome trip! It's hard to estimate the average cost when so many things will factor into the stay - as you probably know it depends on whether the guest house is in a big city, the season, how nice the house is, if its a shared facility, if there are a lot of accommodations in the area, etc. We were frequently able to spend less than 1万 (¥10,000) for comfortable but humble accommodations. Some more popular cities for cycling or tourism were pricier, but you can save by staying in shared rooms. Sometimes APA business hotels or even "love hotels" are the cheapest option in an area if there aren't many ryokan options. Have fun!
