From Tokyo to Kyoto: A 9 Day Bikepacking Adventure Across JAPAN

[@Woodywoodah]

I wish more KZbin videos were like this. No obnoxious commentary or unnecessary self-promotion. Just a well edited, immersive video showcasing your adventure. Good job!

[@LE-LU]

Much appreciated! That was the intention 🙌🏻 thank you!

[@tritruong8125]

I wholeheartedly agree

[@sasakontour]

I absolutely agree!!👍🏼

[@YmiCor]

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.

[@jooondayz]

ngl, i like the commentary-- it's stimulating while i multitask

[@NYSKNYSK]

I’m a Japanese living in the US. Thank you for sharing us a lot of beautiful scenes in Japan. This is truly amazing video!

[@LE-LU]

This means a lot! Thank you so much!

[@54andBored]

Why would you leave that beautiful place

[@MrAurel40]

Honestly your country is beautiful. Hope i will visit it one day. Hello from a french guy

[@nik-roshansirak3398]

@@LE-LU I can only agree, especially the scenic shots of the mountainous landscapes and forests are absolutley stunning! The contrast to the absolutley huge cities must be incredible!

[@chris_con_ache]

This is the most peaceful video I ever seen. Memories feels like this, short moving images with a spark of sound. 🌠

[@Fs13900]

One of the most elegant bikepacking videos I've seen. Thank you.

[@LE-LU]

Thank you so much! Means a lot!

[@sarumaru478]

とても素晴らし動画でした。日本人でありながら、海外を見ているようで素敵な気持ちになりました。ありがとう。

[@anjarnurhadi]

What I like about this journey is that you capture a lot of moments. It's not about speed, it's not about hundred kms per day. It's just cycling and enjoying the journey. Great video!

[@LE-LU]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the way we captured our journey!

[@takatfui]

日本人ですが、余計な言葉がない分とても五感を刺激する素晴らしい旅動画でした。 音楽も良くて、かなり大変なロードトリップなはずなのに心地よく見れました。 ぜひまた日本に走りに来てください！ 次の動画も楽しみにしてます。

[@ratsac]

Absolutely beautiful! Cycling Japan is on my bucket list.

[@LE-LU]

Thank you!

[@jdeckard1243]

The trouble of going to Japan is that at some point you have to leave and going back to your normal life. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@expensivesilence]

Attaching wheels on to your bike box is the smartest thing I've ever seen. Will definitely use this trick for my trip!

[@idg4709]

I love the trees from this video. Nature is overwhelming. The tranquility . This is Life. Thank you.

[@LE-LU]

That’s exactly how it felt to be there in person, and we’re really happy that we’re able to convey that feeling in video too! Thank you.

[@LE-LU]

[@ringedingdong]

Thanks for sharing, beautiful pictures!! また会おう！

[@LE-LU]

Thank you!

[@EricButler555]

thank you for this beautiful and inspiring video

[@LE-LU]

Thank you!

[@loganparker64]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with the world. Such a beautiful showcase of a country I plan to visit next year with my partner. I was expecting a typical bike packing video with two dudes who aren't very funny or interesting talking too much, but this was art. :)

[@chasing3204]

Lovely production. Just scenery and views. Loved pure B Roll edit.

[@ch33zer]

Great video. I did this ride last year while I was living in Japan. It made me so nostalgic. The riding in Japan is world class and I can't wait to go back and experience more of it.

[@LE-LU]

It really is! Thanks.

[@kayrei]

Thank you for the beautiful video. I did the same bike journey in 2015 with three of my best friends. An absolutely unforgettable experience and one of the best things I’ve done in my life. Your video brought me back to that time. Thank you so much.

[@LE-LU]

That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@asobeat4498]

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😊

[@gutrevisan]

During May to September 2023, I was in Japan. You undertook the journey I wished I could have experienced - exploring Japan by bike. Thank you for sharing your account.

[@RichardBrasch]

I am stunned by how beautiful this video was and how well you handled the logistics of this trip. Well done!!

[@LE-LU]

Thank you so much!

[@FfortheT]

Awww, heartwarming and a lot of saudade. Beautifully made! I loved the forests in particular, what a glory. ❤ And the spirit of Japaness transport personnel has maybe never been captured more adequately with the still of the wheel stoppers put on the inside of both wheels on the ferry.

[@LE-LU]

Nice! Thank you. Nice that you noticed the interesting details!

[@kuri8015]

Beautiful video! I did a similar route in 2020 during Covid. Nara and Kyoto were deserted as tourists were not allowed in Japan. It was an amazing ride. If you come back to Japan to cycle, I highly recommend cycling in Shikoku. It is like a time-slip...

[@LE-LU]

That sounds magical! Will keep it in mind!

[@ferrucciodefazio6650]

Non ho parole. Mistico. Grazie!

[@LE-LU]

Grazie! 🙏🏻

[@jimmypeguet33]

Beautifully shot and edited, with lovely music. Can't wait for more videos of this quality! The pleasure of strolling through the streets of towns and villages, the very special atmosphere of these streets, the landscape scenes... everything reminds me of my many books by Japanese photographers.

[@LE-LU]

Thanks so much! We’re glad the video is able to convey exactly that atmosphere!

[@ganbarutojapan6597]

This steep road between Nara and Osaka is so painful I know too!! ahah Thank you for bringing me back this memory! Great video!

[@mjxx]

This was beautiful. The scenes, your editing, the music choice. Loved every second! Shoutout to the youtube algorithm for bringing me here lol Can’t wait for more of your trips!

[@LE-LU]

This is so nice to read, really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@MEOWnderlust]

Lovely video! So relaxing, and excellent music choice. Looks like it was an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing!

[@LE-LU]

Thank you so much!

[@achtbitunix]

One of the most beautiful films about cycling ♥️

[@LE-LU]

Wow, thanks so much!!!

[@vegandy]

One of the most amazing video i've ever seen on KZbin. Great footage. Nice speeding, nice music!

[@LE-LU]

Wow thank you! 🙏🏻

[@RoyFauntleroy]

Lovely video production, thank you and this trip is on my list now.

[@sheen675]

What a beautiful movie. So calm and captivating with perfect music. The scenery and nature was really one of the kind. Traveling through Japan is one of my biggest dreams.

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Wow!! Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@jaychen4952]

From Taiwan, thank you for such a lovely, well-made video. Just beautiful!

[@l214laus]

Love the artistry of the bamboo forest for instance. No language barrier with the video, apart from the writing of the day’s episode. I have the bell on if you two post another video. Thanks.

[@Ehaku0p]

Tranquility at its best.😊

[@父という名のバグ]

本当に素晴らしい旅ですね 日本人の私でも羨ましいです 景色にもとても感激しました いつかまた日本に来て旅を楽しんでください😊

[@PauloMendes-y2s]

Very very beautiful video, poetic, sensible, a poem in images! Thank you!

[@davehoover8853]

Really nicely done. The video and edit capture the feeling of rural Japan. I have hiked the Japanese Alls and skied there and in Hokkaido. It is all so beautiful. Biking is next!

[@LE-LU]

Great to hear!

[@rtmmtz]

Love the japanese spirit infused in your video. Some nice feeling back :D Best!

Awesome video. Thoroughly enjoyed this style of storytelling.

[@CP-lf8ci]

A great travel story from a wonderful couple... Thank you...

[@CP-lf8ci]

6:27 Question.. Is there someone behind the tree?

[@dorothyzb]

I went to Japan for the first time earlier this year and miss it, which is how I found this video. Thanks for the lovely memories and showing me so many parts of the country I didn't get to see on that visit!

[@guayake]

Excelente! Que lindo viaje!

[@booannn-u1s]

很舒服的视频呢～

[@bajangbiru]

Thank you for this post. I save this for future reference. Cheers!

[@sameghino]

most epic video in a long time!!!!

[@mmau]

Super nice video! Thanks for sharing

[@LE-LU]

Thanks for your comment! 🙌🏻

[@euchrid.eucrow]

Did almost the same route by car just recently. It's so beautiful and I'm very jealous of you having gone through it without rushing! For anyone wanting to replicate this, I'd recommend having a day break in an onsen and visiting Koyasan in addition to this route.

[@klausmcclean3369]

Thank you for this beautiful, interesting and inspiring video !

[@JK-tz6kk]

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!

[@saahiththiyanmathivathanan7135]

I love your way of storytelling

[@deepfriedthumb483]

the vibe i got watching this was one of the most beautiful things ever! i just wished you'd showed us around more :v

[@TravelGeeq]
