Oita Solo Ride – Bike Crash, Epic Roads & Ocean Camping | Project 47: Ep 4
Join me on a Triumph Scrambler 400X for 3 epic days riding through Oita Prefecture — from rare vintage treasures to dramatic mountain passes… and an unexpected crash at an abandoned shrine.
Trip Highlights:
🏍️ Iwashita Collection – A hidden museum filled with rare cars, bikes, and eccentric memorabilia.
🛣️ Yufuin & Yufu Mountain roads – Some of Japan’s most scenic twisties.
🌊 Ryumon Falls – A huge twin waterfall with stunning views.
⛰️ Ura Yabakei – Towering volcanic cliffs and dramatic stone formations.
💧 Oike Pond – Crystal-clear spring water gushing from the mountains.
💥 Abandoned shrine mishap – The day took a turn when I dropped the bike in an eerie, forgotten temple.
🏕️ Ocean-side moto-camping – LoneRider MotoTent, campfire meals, and sunsets over the water.
From bizarre museums to adrenaline-filled twisties, tranquil coastal camps, and one unforgettable crash, this ride through Oita packs in Japan’s best roads and raw adventure.

私もScrambler400Xに乗っています。とてもいいバイクです。
ところで、レギュラーガソリンを給油していましたが、ハイオク指定ではなかったですか？
I also ride a Scrambler 400X. It's a very good motorcycle.
By the way, you were filling up with regular gasoline, but wasn't it specified as high-octane?
Wow Oita is so pretty ,thank you for taking the time to show the beauty of japan. Cant wait to see them all ,then I can write my visit list .
Adam, thank you for the great ride! you are giving me great riding ideas to explore my own backyard. Even if I have visit most of these places already, but never on a bike, it is always much better on a bike. I decided to definitely visit Iwashita's Collection and check out the Museum. Great editing as usual!

My brother and I are headed to Japan soon, and can't wait to ride some of those beautiful roads. Thank you for the inspiration.

it looks like speed of GB350 and that Scrambler is totally sufficient for those twisty Japaneese roads. amazing trip. again 🙂 keep cruzin 😉
I hate dropping a bike. You need better handguards, like Barkbusters, or similar.
Have you ever tried to transport your surfboard on your bike in Japan? I know laws are strick in Japan.
