My Services
Need Help Planning Your Ride Through Japan?
This site is built for independent riders — but if you ever want support, I’m here to help. Whether it’s a quick Q&A or a fully personalized ride plan, I offer flexible services to make your trip smoother, easier, and more unforgettable.
No big group tours. No cookie-cutter routes. Just real help from someone who rides these roads.
What I Offer
Because sometimes, the best rides start with a little guidance.
Custom Ride Planning
Want a multi-day route that fits your riding style, budget, and interests — without spending weeks researching?
I’ll create a personalized ride plan that includes:
A detailed multi-day route
GPX files + Google Maps links
Optional cultural stops, scenic detours, and food recommendations
2. 30 minute Q&A Consultation
Skip the forums, guesswork, and outdated advice. Book a 30-minute call with me and ask anything — routes, rentals, gear, seasons, or how to make the most of your trip.
Whether you’re planning a quick weekend loop or a multi-week adventure, I’ll help you move forward with confidence.
3. Private Guided Rides
I occasionally guide small, private rides for those who want to experience Japan without the hassle of planning — but still avoid the big group tour feel.
Handpicked roads and stops
Small groups only
Culturally immersive routes, not rushed itineraries
More like riding with a friend than following a flag
📅 Available a few times per year — on request.
Why Work with Me
Since moving back to Japan in 2017, I’ve clocked over 200,000 kilometers exploring this country’s mountain passes, coastal roads, and tiny countryside towns.
The routes I plan are more than just scenic and twisty (though I love those too). I mix in hands-on cultural experiences like joining a local dance festival, soaking in a hidden onsen, or even catching your own lunch at a mountain fishery. The goal is to make each ride memorable for more than just the roads.
I speak Japanese, understand the culture, and enjoy connecting riders with locals along the way. I plan rides like I would for a close friend with backup routes for bad weather, good food stops, and enough flexibility for the unexpected moments that turn a trip into a story.
If you want a ride that’s safe, exciting, and full of character — I’m here to help.
