I was featured in a magazine ” CROISSANT ” published by Magazine house.
It was written,
While riding to all corners of Japan and I realized anew what a beautiful country Japan is.
And I though I’d like to share the charm of Japan to people all over the world through motorcycle riding.
“A fantastic motorcycle ride for foreigners visiting Japan.” Under this vision, FUN RIDE JAPAN was established.
Fantastic trip away from the cities up in the mountains. Lots of curvy roads, and experiences that the typical tourist will not get to see. I was going to go solo while my wife was at a conference in Yokohama, but Fun Ride was able to find another couple from Australia to go along on the same schedule. This made a terrific ride even better!
Yukiko did a great job as our guide. Each day’s ride was just the right duration, and was capped off with a unique ryokan & onsen experience and an introduction to local cuisine. We even got to enjoy a wonderful evening street festival at our stop in Kusatsu-Machi. Yukiko was very patient with us – answering all of our questions and giving us an introduction to Japanese culture.
If you come from a country that drives on the right side of the road, I highly recommend following a guide. I would have been in big trouble 2-3 times each day if left to follow my right-hand instincts!
If I’m ever able to return, I would definitely take another tour with Fun Ride Japan.
Very well organized bike tour! Great food, cosy and nice accommodation! Best way to admire the scenic routes in Japan! Thank you so much for your planning and hospitality!
Unforgettable experience. Magnificent scenic routes, exhilarating bends up and down hills, exciting highways, relaxing cruises through local roads. We took great pictures at snowy hill tops, of Mount Fuji, and sakura! Great food and onsen everyday. The fun we had owed much to the meticulous planning of the friendly and welcoming Yukiko. We shall definitely come back for another one.

Thanks to you, Yukiko for the exceptional trip you shared with us. We really enjoyed it! And thanks for the patience you had with each of us! Japan is a really fascinating country, so different from our standards but so enchanting. Forgive us for all our mistakes and be sure you have 6 real friends in Italy (plus one in Romania!😄😄😄). We hope to meet you again somewhere….😄

Customers visited Japan at the first time.
We selected mix of landscape, sightseeing spots for their route to feel Japans culture, history and nature.
They are beer lovers and requested to visit micro breweries.
So we selected hotels and restaurants to serve special beer.
Whether was not so good,so we have to skip some places.
But they enjoyed live Japan.

Great ride with Yukiko’s Fun Ride Japan tour! Swooped around the base of Mt Fuji and enjoyed a great hot noodle lunch. Then it was up into and through the clouds as we ran up Mt Fuji to the big #5 station. Checked in at the Temple and got my fortune. After rain last night, the roads were dry and clear! Perfect riding temps today with mostly clouds and a peak at the Sun every once in awhile.
