You guys have that immediate “I want to be your BFF for life” vibe.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hahaha this made us smile. Thanks a lot, and Happy Holidays!

[@trdartz]

The positive vibes that you 2 radiate from your videos are contagious. A great couple and it's fun to just watch you guys on your adventures. Thank you for making the effort to include us on your journeys.

[@harlanhavig]

Hi Cheveyo & Tia. I can’t believe all the extra work you went through to get those drive by shots. Thank you!

[@dragonzord6615]

If I wasn't living in Perth, I'd 100% be living in Kagoshima. Easily my favourite place to visit in Japan

[@brianfreeman2500]

“I don’t have no choice, do I?” Made me lol.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

4 hours to do a 4 hour bike loop, *while filming*?! We would have broken two cameras and a leg, trying to get back in time. 😂 Seeing the torii gate under ash was jaw-dropping! 😲

[@OnePackWanderers]

It was a challenging one. We didn't think we had enough shots for a video, but it came through OK 😅

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

@@OnePackWanderers hahaha, we've definitely run into that, too! 😂

沖縄はありますが、日本の北端から南端まですごいですね。日本人ですら、このような旅をする人は多くないですよ。 全世界を旅する楽しそうなカップル。 素敵な動画です。 日本を楽しんで、いい思い出ができて、次の国へ行くことを望んでます。

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you 😊

[@kanrekipapa]

Good morning, nice to meet you. My daughter Arisa and I enjoyed your videos. As a Japanese, I was very happy. Thank you very much. Have a good year!

[@alexander6906]

Hey guys! I saw this video like 8 months ago, today I did the same trip around Sakurajima, rented the same blue bike from the same rental place. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you guys do for everybody, worth a million, I would never have thought about going to Kagoshima if it weren’t for you.

[@OnePackWanderers]

This comment seriously just made our day. Thank you so much 😊 How was the bike ride?

[@alexander6906]

@@OnePackWanderersIt was quite hard! Very steep hills and sometimes a bit to close to the traffic. But the views and the nature made it worth it. So cool to see all the abandoned buildings that had become overgrown by nature with the volcano in the background. It took me just under 4h, my butt is suffering from the saddle today 😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Agreed! The abandoned hotels and stuff on, I believe it was the south side, were really fascinating. It looks like it was turning into a resort island before the volcano started acting up. You blazed through it! I think it took us 6-8 hours?

[@Modacircular]

I visited Kagoshima during the summer, thankfully it was not as hot as the rest of Japan, it was during Tsunami time. I found Sakurajima so peaceful, and not too touristic so I loved it. I stayed in a hotel where you could see the volcano from the onsen room. I so would love to go back.

[@joshualiebmann1068]

Love Kagoshima… I’m going back in March to run the whole way around it 🏃‍♂️

[@OnePackWanderers]

You are very brave! That is basically a whole marathon, and a tough one too!

[@01seiyer74]

おつかれさまです。自転車で自然を感じて良い体験ですね。私も一周してみたいです。これから沖縄だったらもっと温かくなるのでいいね！

[@johnm6504]

Hi guys, another great video! I admire your tenacity and commitment to getting to southern Japan before your visa and train pass expire - awesome job! And thanks.

[@ocinema3k]

Way to hustle guys! Very inspirational! Keep it up!

[@SamFournier]

Ughh just watching this my legs and butt bones were hurting.😂 You deserve that extra large pizza after the ride and commitment to get all the shots in between.

[@tomotomotomo9522]

Hi, I’m very happy to see your visiting my hometown Kagoshima. Maybe you know, very famous as agricultural prefecture. we have many cheap and nice foods and Shochu. Try it! Have a wonderful trip!

[@OnePackWanderers]

The food in Kagoshima is really good, especially the beef!

[@tomotomotomo9522]

Thanks for your reply. Active volcano line brings us many kind of hot springs. If you have a chance, try Ibusuki Sunamushi. You will be able to have unique experiences. I’m looking forward to seeing next video.Thanks.

[@lsasso8087]

Beautiful footage & looked to be quite the challenge. Thanks for sharing!

[@florence352]

Great video! You guys are amazing!

[@anitaangel3755]

Hi hunny! You're little sister and I miss you very much! Was painfull to watch you both bike that hill. Lol Tia, you are a champion! Hope you both stay warm and have lot's of fun! Love you both so much!!❤😊💕

[@johnkies1189]

If you guys liked doing that and are ever back in Japan you should check out the Shimanami kaido bike route. It's an experience I'm excited to check out when I'm back next year.

[@kburke5564]

Thank you very much for sharing another great video . Looking forward to the next one 😀 . Take care 🙂.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Happy Holidays 😊

[@AuntyJack123]

Hehe nature reclaimed nature! Good that you made it safely around. I just watched the movie about White Island in New Zealand and the eruption in December 2019.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Haha as I was editing it I realized how silly that statement was 😅 What's the name of the movie?

[@AuntyJack123]

@@OnePackWanderers the movie is The Volcano: Rescue From Whakaari. That was an epic ride I appreciate how you give things a go with such positive outlook :)

[@markgypsy3073]

Thank you so much guys your videos are amazing. Me and my wife love watching you both can’t wait for the next episode merry Christmas and happy new year to you both

Happy Holidays 😊

[@kipo808]

Awesome video guys...good job on humping on that bike and making it around the island. Thanks for the shout out to Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Loa has been erupting for couple weeks now and on the other side Mauna Kea been snowing. You guys heading to Okinawa I'll be looking forward to it. I was born in Okinawa and the last time I went there was 1982 and now my mom said where we used to live is no more...it's all highway now. I'm hoping to go back there again to visit.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Has there been a higher amount of vog on the Big Island? We're in Okinawa now, and we have been surprised at how developed it is! Moreso even than Oahu it seems. Still a beautiful place.

[@kipo808]

Vog was pretty bad in hilo side but it's been windy and it's pushing more to kona side now. Kona is getting the worst of it right now. Right on...enjoy Okinawa and have a very great time there. I heard that it is becoming more like Oahu because of the development which sometimes is not good but I guess like they say it's all about business in bringing money in 🤷‍♂️

[@Potomacstud]

Visiting and cycling around an erupting volcano , how can anything be better than that ? MERRY CHRISTMAS DYNAMIC DUO !

[@OnePackWanderers]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Come on now. Tia for scale!! 🌋

[@Flaventuretoo]

Every video you make brings us joy 😊 (not too over the top?) Thanks for spreading the enthusiasm.

[@OnePackWanderers]

This made our day, thank you for the kind words 😊 And happy new year!

[@Flaventuretoo]

@@OnePackWanderers Thanks so much ☺️☺️☺️

[@MP-fj6wl]

That bike ride looks amazing! I'm not sure how much time you guys have left in Japan, but you guys should look into doing the shimanami kaido bike ride through the inner islands of Japan. I think it starts in Hiroshima, so you guys might have just not known about it, but it's great.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Indeed! We were aware of the Shimanami Kaido route, and we've decided to come back during a warmer time to do it 🙂

[@drewcorry5056]

I Wish You Both A Merry Christmas. Absolutely loved the cold views of the mountain. What would have happened if you missed the Ferry?? Enjoy your pizza. Outstanding all around

[@OnePackWanderers]

Merry Christmas to you as well! 🎄 The ferry would probably be fine, I think there were later ones. But if we didn't get the bikes back in time, it would've cost us an extra $70ish to 'rent' the bikes overnight 😅

[@ToldByAbe]

This eps feels so quick tho

[@ChrisMarshxox]

Hey guys love your videos, I'm going to Japan in April hoping to see the Sakura! From travelling for a while now in Japan is there a specific route or anything you'd recommend doing differently from what you've done (we've got 3-4 weeks) 😃 P.s keep up the great work, travelling whilst staying on top of something like this is a big thing and you both do it so well 😄

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey there! If you have an Instagram or email, shoot us a message and we can talk specifics 🙂 3-4 weeks is a really solid amount of time to explore this awesome country.

[@ChrisMarshxox]

@@OnePackWanderers just so you know guys I dropped you an email 😃 (hope you've enjoyed the festive period. Looking forward to the next video 😃

[@kymwright263]

Bikes need motors in them for me hahaha

[@johnkies1189]

Is that a 1.9 m clearance at the back of the boat? @1:54 cause I would not meet that 😅

[@vinhquyen46]

Follow you two through your videos, I wonder who video both of you, it's there is a third person with you?

[@OnePackWanderers]

No one is with us. Sometimes we put the camera on the ground or something and then walk back to get it 😅

Tia doesn't look like she wants to do a bike ride? 26 hour ferry?? Dramimine!

[@OnePackWanderers]

The bikes were her idea and circumnavigating the volcano was my idea. I really wish we brought dramamine for that ferry.
