Welcome back to a new season of adventure on Two Up Travels!
We’re kicking things off in Japan, where we’ll be exploring the magnificent countryside on a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro named “Yomogi.”

In partnership with UB Touring Japan, we begin an 8-day journey to discover the real Japan—riding through rural landscapes, visiting hidden towns, experiencing authentic culture, and eventually witnessing history at the 2025 Motegi MotoGP before jumping on the Shinkansen to explore Japan’s must-see tourist destinations.

In this first episode, we ride two-up from Chiba all the way into the Marunuma Highlands, transitioning from busy city life into quiet mountain roads and beautiful natural scenery. It’s the perfect start to an unforgettable adventure.
Please join us for the ride. So, jump aboard and let’s go and explore Japan

  1. Great little episode and wow Japan – not many of us get to see this beautiful country. The Buddha was far too tall and the clouds were very grey but loved this posting. Cheers and look forward to the next episode 😃
