bikepacking in rice fields + traditional Japanese ryokan 🇯🇵 // Gunma + Tochigi ➭ chapter 1

[@robertdavey2660]

Thanks so much for the great effort of filming excellent scenery, food and good choice of background music. When i find similar backroads winding up mountains and through forests I feel like I've found gold. I've been to japan 3x and yet to try out a ryokan and you've convinced me it's a very worthwhile experience. Looking forward to the next vlog on a road i cycled last century! :)

Wow I think I just understood that you rode the irohazaka last century! Cant wait for ya to see the next video then. I would be curious to hear what has changed after all these years.

​@@robertdavey2660 wow, more than 20 years ago! Was it a one-way road back in 1999?

[@robertdavey2660]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@luvski2007]

very enjoy watching your video! Wish one day I can do bikepacking in Japan. btw, do you guys speak Japanese? If not, how difficulty it is to communicate with locals in English?

[@moecycling]

Thank you very much! We speak some Japanese, and it is very helpful in the countryside. If you want to travel in rural Japan, learning some basic sentences can go a long way. Otherwise, I recommend traveling with a guide!

What 360 camera is used in this video?

[@moecycling]

It is an insta360. What do you think of the footage?

[@fourcollar]

@@moecycling Thanks, I'll have to check it out. The 360 camera really adds some great scenes to the video.

[@moecycling]

@@fourcollarI agree--it's nice to be able to show your surroundings from those different angles
