Cycling Hokkaido - 1,700 km across Japan's North

This video captures long days on quiet rural roads, remote coastlines, rolling farmland and mountain passes, and the simple rhythm of bike travel in Japan’s northern island. Hokkaido is known for its wide roads, low traffic, and cooler summer climate, making it one of the best places in Japan for long-distance cycle touring.

Along the way: incredible Japanese food, from convenience store stops to fresh seafood and local specialities that somehow taste even better after a long day in the saddle. Expect scenic riding, peaceful camps, small towns, and the kind of slow travel that lets you really experience a place.
