Two Wheel Cruise | Travel and POV Chat Rides

Based in Nagoya, Japan – Cruise and Thuong are a multinational couple who share their take on life in Japan as a cyclist couple from two different cultures. Much of their channel has them going on regular rides where they talk about various topic about living in Japan. They also visit different prefectures on various trips, and regularly take their viewers to local bike shops. Check them out for a peak into a non-Tokyo city life in Japan!

NHK Cycle Around Japan | Cultural Insights & Interaction

NHK is Japan’s national public news distributor. Every so often, they release new episodes in their series, Cycle Around Japan on Youtube. Each video highlights a unique corner of rural Japan. In our opinion, this series does a great job of bridging the gap between English-speaking international guests and the local Japanese who live in these small towns.

You can also see all of their episodes on the NHK Website linked in our article on NHK Cycle Around Japan.

Internationally ME | Rural Japan and Mamachari Rides

Although she is not a bike-specific Youtuber, Internationally ME releases cycling videos every so often. She specifically focuses on the less popular but (in our opinion) more interesting aspects of small-town Japan.

Rindo Rob | Small-town Japan Immersion & POV

A shameless plug, since I’ve been making a few videos here and there on Youtube over the years. Most of these routes are in Gunma, Tochigi, and Nagano, but I have plans to share more countryside experiences with all the viewers at home!
