Japan Travel | 800 km by Road Bike (Well, Almost) | Day 3–4: Osaka to Uno Port

🚲 Japan Travel | Road Bike Journey — Day 3–4
From a cozy overnight in Osaka to our first long ride — we continue our slow cycling trip across Japan.

Morning starts with konbini pick-ups (helmet, gloves, and gear finally arrived!), a quick repack, and a cherry blossom break in the heart of the city.
Then… our biggest day yet.

Trains, tunnels, hills, a high-speed descent, and 70 km later — we reach Uno Port at night, exhausted but happy.
Also: Kindness at the station, pho in Ako, and a surprise hotel just for cyclists.

_______________

📍 Osaka Station → Himeji → Aioi
📍 Cherry blossoms & vending machines

We’re riding across Japan — slowly.
From Nara to Fukuoka, with no rush and no big plan.
We don’t know how far we’ll get, or if we’ll make it all the way by bike —
but for now, we’re just enjoying every moment of the ride.

    Hello！
    I always look forward to watching both of your trip with such a nice atmosphere.
    However, there is one thing… when carrying a packed bicycle on the train, please do not occupy the priority seat.
    I am afraid that it will be a nuisance to other passengers and that the railway company will prohibit carrying bicycles.
    Please understand this and enjoy your trip🙏🏽

    4:20 Did you notice the girl under the bridge? She was playing the flute!
    Maybe she chose that spot so the sound of the trains would cover her music and not disturb anyone.
    That kind of thoughtfulness feels so deeply Japanese — quietly caring for others in such a beautiful way. 🎶🇯🇵

    I take my bicycle in a rinko bag as well in Japan, however you should not sit on 4 seats priority seat area by 2 people and also block the entrance with your bicycle and not-allowing the possibility to other passengers to sit there. I can understand space is limited on train/subways but that is not a good example for other people to follow. Recently on Japanese media there were showing foreigners (and I am a foreigner too in Japan) blocking space on Japanese train.

    A red flashlight on the back of your helmet will make night riding safer.
    And if possible, wear a yellow fluorescent vest to make yourself more visible.

    I just came back from a 12-day trip in Japan, half of which was cycling (mainly in Kyoto and Kawaguchiko). Your videos makes me want to book a return flight ticket back again! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more videos from you.
    P/S: Thank you for the hack that you can order and ship to the nearest konbini. Will definitely want to try that out next time!
    PP/S: We used the trains a lot as well. Unpacking and repacking for the train rides will be second nature to you in no-time! Look for the wheelchair carriages on the local trains; they have ample space for the bikes. If a wheelchair comes on board during the trip, you can move to a different carriage.
