  • I've never cycled before. In fact, I've never done any long-distance trekking whatsoever. But riding a bicycle across Japan was on the bucket list, so here we are.

    Cycling in Japan is great, and few places are better for cycling than Hokkaido in the summer time. For those looking to do something similar, you might find it easier to find a hotel each night. These can be found for cheap if you take the time to research before your ride, and having a place to stay each night means you don't have to pack and carry nearly as much. Since I live in Japan, it's where I always ride, but I'm looking forward to some riding in North America next year.

    Biking across Japan is a dream of mine, just the thought of choosing where to go, where to stay. Even the idea of getting lost is somewhat appealing. Amazing video and truly inspiring words!

      Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed:) I agree, part of the fun is not having a full and thorough plan. I hope you can cross it off the bucket list!

    Did you really have no issues camping in the parks? That's good to know

    Did you buy and transport your own bike set up to Japan? Or did you rent a whole bike set up to use once you got to Japan?

    • @fartherout
      @fartherout  6 місяців тому

      I brought a bike with me from the Netherlands as i liked the posture on it. As for the gear, I got it all while in Japan

    Is there a reason you decide on a tradational cycle touring setup rather than bikepacking setup ..

    • @fartherout
      @fartherout  8 місяців тому +1

      Since it was my first tour, I wasn’t certain what I personally needed and would want, and I think the traditional setup gave me more flexibility. Next time I’ll know what I need I think and would absolutely go for the backpacking setup! Not to mention a lighter bike

      @@fartherout Your content is great. I don't know the UA-cam algorithms and I'm sure they change by the moment. I've heard they must be longer than 8 minutes to count for X. (Whatever X is.) I also have seen one automotive UA-camr with millions of subscribers who posts videos that are ten minutes and a few seconds. I'll admit, I am biased. I could listen to you talk about your journey for hours. I believe as long as you keep it interesting, people will watch. Hope this helps...somehow.

      Absolutely it helps I appreciate the input. I believe it needs to be 8 minutes to play mid roll ads, which are additional ads in the middle of the video to produce more revenue. But I have noticed the 10 minute videos and I’m not sure why. Something I’ll have to look into 🤔
