3500 km Rowerem przez Japonię – Tydzień 2: Kioto, Alpy Japońskie i spotkanie z niedźwiedziem

If you ever need to know how to make matcha, feel free to come over to my station. It’s hard to say what this is. Very not zen. We’ve arrived in Kyoto. Good morning and welcome to another episode of the Japan series. We’re starting week two of the trip. We’ve got a lot of traffic lights ahead, lousy weather, but also beautiful Kyoto. The route will take us into the heart of the Japanese Alps, which turn out to be much wilder than we expected. So hop on the rack and let’s go. Welcome to a new vlog. We’re starting the second week, day eight of the trip. We’re in Kujama. As you can see behind me there’s a sign for the castle – and that’s where we’re heading. We don’t have much time for sightseeing, because the clock is ticking – a hundred and twenty kilometres to cover today. The morning was really crisp, as you can see I’m still in my jacket, but the sun’s out and it’s warming up, so we think soon we’ll be able to take these jackets off and riding will get much more pleasant. We’ve walked into the courtyard of Fukuyama Castle and it’s a pretty Japanese castle, but it’s a reconstructed one, because it was rebuilt in the 1960s after being destroyed in an air raid during the Second World War. The courtyard itself is quite empty – you see sand, a few trees. We’re not going into the museum, so we can’t tell you if the museum is interesting or not. But when it comes to the castle itself, you’ll find plenty of more interesting ones in Japan. For a while now we’ve been riding along a really pleasant cycle path, running along the river embankment. It’s nice, it’s comfortable, the weather’s great because it’s warmed up, there’s a gentle headwind, but it’s not too bad yet. So we just keep going. Dawid, how did you like the visit to the bakery? Show us what we bought – some sweets, no idea what’s inside. But it looks sweet. I have no idea what fruit this is. Isn’t that the sweet potato? No? I hope so – we’ll see in a moment. This one turned out to be strawberry, with a bit of cream inside. Just like in France. Now we’ll try the second one – and it turns out it’s sweet potato, I think. That sweet potato with the purple skin – satsuma-imo. Mm. So good. It’s one of the classic Japanese treats. The cream is amazing, the potato is great, and they use it in all sorts of ways – baked, candied, in desserts or savoury dishes, and as you can see also in sweet pastries like this. After the bakery we hit the road again. We left the coast and wound our way through small villages, skirting around Okayama to avoid the city. Not much was happening – we just enjoyed the good weather and the occasional temple we passed along the way. But not in our direction. What’s that? Today was a long day. We did another hundred and forty kilometres and made it to the town of Aioi. Aioi, Aioi… Aioi – yes, we arrived in Aioi and decided that maybe we deserved something nicer to eat, so we went to a yakiniku restaurant. That means we’ll grill the meat ourselves right here on this grill – the meat we ordered. We ordered a few types – beef, pork, chicken breast and also Wagyu beef. It’s our first time trying it, so we can’t wait to see how it all tastes. Dawid also wanted to order tongue, but I managed to talk him out of it at the last second. Our food has arrived – look. Here’s the Wagyu, here’s the beef – no, that’s the pork. Here’s the chicken, some veggies, and we’ve also got ribeye. Dawid is going to try the beef. It’s good. I’m wondering why we ordered chicken. Alright, let’s try. Mm. I can’t even describe it – it’s so tender, fantastic flavour, pure joy. We’ve finished dinner. It came to around a hundred and fifty zloty for the two of us, so about seventy each. And honestly, it was incredibly good – everything we ordered. And now, well, we’re heading to our campsite. We’re camping in a park again, and we’re hoping there’ll be a shelter. On Google Maps there was a shelter and that shelter will come in handy, because it’s supposed to rain tonight. We’ve done a hundred and forty kilometres and we’re getting closer and closer to Kobe, which we plan to reach tomorrow. This is the weather that greets us on day nine. It’s supposed to keep raining for a few more hours, but from seven o’clock it should ease off a bit. So we’ll start packing up soon. The tent let in a bit of water, because even though we pitched it under a roof, puddles formed and the water crept in. Dawidek doesn’t want to get up. I’ll try to drag him out in a moment. That’s how it is – sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn’t. The forecast says that around nine-thirty or ten it should stop raining. So we’ve holed up in a Family Mart, and we’re having a little charging session, a little coffee session, maybe we’ll plan the routes for the next few days. We’ve got about an hour, maybe an hour and a half to kill here. Today we’ve got quite a narrow weather window – about six hours without rain to get to Kobe. So eighty-five kilometres, six hours, not a lot of time for stopping. Well… that’s what kind of day it is. Twenty kilometres in the rain, my shoes are sloshing, but as you can see we’ve reached the first goal for today – Himeji Castle. And this castle is truly special, because the first castle here already stood in the fourteenth century. This one was built in the seventeenth, but what’s most remarkable is that for four hundred years it hasn’t been destroyed or burned down in a fire – which, for Japan, is quite unusual. It’s one of only twelve castles like that. And another sign of how important it is? It’s one of the wonders you can build in Civilization. So if you’ve played Civilization, you definitely know this castle. And today – look – Japan from a slightly less pleasant perspective. For today’s ride to Kobe we found a cycle path that, on the map, ran along the railway tracks. And it really does – but it looks like this. We’re riding under a wall of Shinkansen viaducts, crossing junctions every, I don’t know, two hundred metres, maybe even more often – there are a lot of junctions here, as you can see. But the Japanese came up with a clever idea – to put mirrors at the junctions. Normally we just wouldn’t see anything, because the streets are basically built right up to the corner. The buildings come right up to the junction. And thanks to the mirrors we’ve got a view of what’s around the bend. These mirrors are absolutely everywhere – basically everywhere we’ve been so far. On Kyushu, on Shikoku – wherever the buildings are a bit denser. And even on mountain roads you see these mirrors popping up – wherever they’re needed, wherever they need to show you what’s behind the corner. We’ve got a little breakdown on the way – Dawid’s got a flat. His second on this trip. Bartek, I miss you – Bartek was always the puncture master. On this trip Dawid is king when it comes to flats. Chair factory – one kilometre. Right, got it. We’re already riding into Kobe. As you can see, this approach isn’t exactly picture perfect. We spent a while on the national highway, now we’re on a smaller road, but it’s still only so-so. Already in Kobe we came across another beautiful Shinto shrine. It was rebuilt after wartime damage in 1957, and honestly, the main hall is really lovely. The torii gates are beautiful as well – everything is incredibly well kept. It really makes a big impression. We went to Kobe for two reasons: to fix the drone and to eat a Kobe beef steak. We didn’t manage to do either of those things in Kobe. Turns out that soldering the little leg wire back on is impossible. Looking for a repair shop and the pouring rain ate up so much time that all the steak places were already closed. I still need to wrap up day nine. We’re already in a hotel room in Kyoto. We’re not in Kobe anymore. It was a tough day, and not even that many kilometres – just under ninety in the end. Lots of problems – another flat tyre, and it turned out that the drone really can’t be fixed. So I’ll have to think what to do about that next. Anyway, see you tomorrow. Greetings from one of the dozens of traffic lights in Kobe on day ten of the trip. Today we’re heading towards Kyoto. It’ll be another short day – eighty-something kilometres, so by our standards, pretty short. But it’ll be all day into a headwind. I just hope the cycle path is better than yesterday, because supposedly it runs along the river. Another one of those days where the goal is just to get from A to B without any major attractions in between. So let’s see what comes out of today. Dawid, I think after these two days we already know how it works in Japan. Either we ride flat and fight our way through traffic lights, or we ride through the mountains. I think I actually prefer the mountains. So choose wisely. Because those are the only options. Either you complain that your legs hurt, or you complain that you’re standing at lights and your legs hurt anyway because you have to keep starting and stopping. Today is going to be a little corner of confessions and observations, because not much is going to happen. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but here everyone rides with their saddles really low. Look, even the parked bikes here – all the seats are low, and people ride with their legs all bent. Dawid, what do you think? It’s one bike for the whole family, set to fit the youngest rider. Maybe. I didn’t know Japan was such a poor country. Nothing much is happening today, so we’ll show you our snack daily routine at Lawson. Come on in. Every convenience store has a toilet. That’s the main thing. Dawid, what drink are you going for today? I wanted Pocari, but I have to say that shopping here in Lawson is pretty pricey. Because Pocari, nine hundred – nine hundred millilitres – costs almost the same as a two-litre Pocari in a normal shop. So which will you take? I’ll take it anyway, it’s good. Pocari Sweat. Pocari, nine hundred millilitres, see? That’s one bottle each for our bidons. Show it. And this is interesting, look – they have frozen drinks. You grab one and it thaws as you go. On a hot day something like that could be great. We’ve grabbed this sugar danish and some fruit. Well? Hard to say what it is. We bought a drink called “Sangria”. At least that’s what it says. I don’t know if I even know what sangria is in English. Sweet, like a multivitamin with milk, right? Dawid, we’ve got onto the path and it looks like we’ll be stopping every few metres. Oh my God, it’s beautiful. It really is pretty here. Look, this is what the entry onto the bike path looks like – you have to squeeze through this. Whoever came up with these barriers must have thought very long and hard. Because I think it would be hard to come up with a worse solution. I guess I said that too soon, because we’ve found even worse entries. Now Piotrek will demonstrate how you get onto a bike path in Japan. From the wrong side as well. There’s a barrier for people too. Can’t you see? You’ve just broken several rules. Anyway, we’re slowly getting close to Kyoto. We’ve hit seventy kilometres, so there’s about ten left. That should be pleasant – even if it’s into the wind, which is a bit less pleasant. And now we’re going to watch some Japanese gentlemen playing a game. If any of you know what this game is called, let us know in the comments. But overall it looks really fun. See? There’s a hole over there, you have to hit it. Ah, they tap the balls in, not just once? They tap – it’s like golf, the strokes count. And we’ve made it to Kyoto. First stop is a shopping mall, where I’ll try to buy a new drone, because the old one needs a bit of love. I’m really happy – I managed to get a drone for a good price. It’s not the Mini 4 Pro, but this one will be more than enough. We’re in Kyoto now, and not on our own bikes – but on bikes borrowed from the hotel. We’ve got tiny little mini bikes on mini wheels, with no brake – one brake missing, at least on mine. We’ve already hit our first tourist trap, but this one’s quite a pleasant trap. We’re at Nishiki Market – also known as the “kitchen of Kyoto”. You’ll find everything here you could possibly want to eat. All kinds of things. Just look at this variety. We’ve got some octopus on a stick, a stick in… something. Mm. Good. After a short visit to Nishiki Market we headed for a special dinner. All the dishes here were based on Kobe beef. And the star of the evening was, of course, the steak – fried right in front of us, to exactly the doneness we asked for. We’ve just come out from dinner. It set us back about four hundred zloty per person, more or less. Was it worth it? To try it once – I think so, yeah. But it wasn’t exactly a life-changing event. More of a performance – nice to go, see it, experience it, and that’s it. In the evening, with a bit of strength and time left, we went over to the Gion district and Yasaka Shrine. It was built in the year 656, and for over a thousand years now the famous Gion Matsuri festival has been held here every year. The streets fill up with huge, lavishly decorated yamaboko floats, music, and crowds of people in yukata. Welcome to another day of the trip, which we’re starting at the Buddhist temple Kiyomizudera. It’s one of the most famous Buddhist temples in the world and of course in Kyoto. Behind me you can see a beautiful gate. I’ll show you a few nice shots, because the temple really is stunning. It was founded in the year 780, so it’s very old, and naturally it attracts huge crowds. It’s seven in the morning, and there are already quite a lot of people. We’re in the Kyoto region – and Kyoto, or rather the surrounding area, especially the Uji region, is famous for producing tea for matcha. And today, as a sort of ending to our Kyoto adventure, we’ve come to a tea ceremony. So let’s see what it looks like inside. Before we begin the ceremony, we have to get ready. First we choose a fan, and then a kimono. I go for the samurai style, and Dawid chooses the so-called jacket style. Look, we’re already dressed up. I’m in samurai style, and Dawid is in jacket style. When we’re ready, we’re welcomed by four lovely ladies who will lead the ceremony and briefly explain how it will go. The first step before the ceremony is washing our hands. It’s done in a specific order, which is a little ceremony in itself. Pour over the right hand, switch, pour over the left, switch back, take a bit of water, gently rinse your mouth and let it run down the handle, and put it back. After this step, our host fires up a PowerPoint and gives us a short lecture about what matcha means in Japanese culture. She also explains which tools are used and what they symbolise. We get a small sweet and the main part of the ceremony begins. The air fills with the smell of matcha – intense, a little bitter, but incredibly soothing. Every single movement has to be done according to tradition. Pouring the water, sifting the powder, passing the bowl to the other person – simple actions that here become something much more. An age-old tradition and a sign of respect for the ancestors. For a moment the ceremony transports us to another world – very far from the jingle in Family Mart and modern Japan. After the main part we still have time for some extras. We take photos with a katana, and I get an extra little lesson in whisking matcha. And that’s how our adventure with matcha and Kyoto ends – Kyoto definitely impressed us the most of all the Japanese cities we’ve visited so far. Bye-bye. We’re slowly wrapping up our time in Kyoto. It’s been really nice. Of the big Japanese cities so far, Kyoto is the one I’ve liked the most. Now we’re rolling through some industrial areas, and for the first time in a few days we’ve seen rice fields again. And I have to say – they’re still amazing. Wow. We’ve reached today’s destination, and… about twenty metres before the finish, Dawid hit such a pothole that the wheel is ever so slightly, very slightly bent. We’re fixing it now – we’ll see. We’ll put in a new tube, because the tube blew too. We’ll see if that works. If not, we saw some guys tinkering with motorbikes nearby, so if this doesn’t help, we’ll just go to them – maybe they can help us straighten the wheel a little bit. Tonight we’re sleeping again – you could say wild-camping – in a park. We’ve got a shelter, we’ll pitch the tent under the roof here. Tomorrow the weather is meant to get properly bad. The sun rises at five, and we want to leave at five sharp to do as many kilometres as possible before ten, because at ten it’s supposed to start raining and keep raining all day. That’s the plan. How it’ll turn out – we’ll see. Hello, my dear friends, from day twelve of the trip. We’re starting it at Lake Biwa, where we finished yesterday. It’s five sixteen in the morning, and today’s goal is the town of Gujo. Unfortunately, the weather for the next two or three days won’t be great. But we’ll be looking for weather windows to keep moving forward. Our night-time repair did the trick – the wheel is still dented, but the tube holds air and the tyre stays on the rim. Dawid can happily ride on. We’re entering a tunnel – look, three kilometres of tunnel. Hello, hello, Dawid – can you hear me? In the end we don’t make it to Gujo today, but to Seki, which is thirty kilometres earlier. The day passes quite quickly. We spend the first part climbing, then after the pass we descend into another valley. More and more tunnels appear – a sign of what we should expect in the coming days in the Japanese Alps. We treated ourselves to some strawberries. Fresh strawberries on the roadside – delicious. Mm. I haven’t shown you the end of the day yet. Or maybe I shouldn’t… Okay, I will – look. This is what our hotel room looks like. But it’s all clean, freshly washed. We’ve done laundry and not everything is fully dry yet, so we’re still drying it in this organised mess. We finished the day very early – around one p.m. We did a few chores, washed what was dirty, and even took a nap because we got up really early today. We rode 108 kilometres. It’s pouring outside – not sure if you can see it, probably not. Anyway, it’s raining, it’s wet, and it’ll keep raining all night. That’s probably it for today. Take care, and see you tomorrow. Welcome to day thirteen of our Japanese adventure. It’s supposed to be pretty, it’s supposed to be scenic, I just hope the weather lets that happen, because for now it’s so-so. Bikepacking is fun, it’s pleasant – you get to spend your time outside. Dawid rode through a bed of nails. When this tube finally makes it back to Poland, we need to frame it and hang it on the wall. We’ve done over forty kilometres so far. As you can see, my jacket turns out to be less waterproof than I’d hoped. But it’s warm, so it doesn’t bother me that much. Our plans for today have changed a bit, so we’ve got some time to talk not only about bikes, but also about Japanese culture. And a really important element of Japanese culture are, of course, gardens. As you might remember, we saw samurai gardens at the beginning of the trip – that was day two or three, I think – and there the key decorative element in the garden were stones. And that hasn’t changed over the centuries in Japan. Stones are still the basis for showing how important a person you are – a stone in your garden, of course. If you want to show off, if you want people to talk about you not only in the village, but in the whole prefecture, then first you need a tall fence, and second a stone that sticks up above that fence. So the proportions are often chosen so that you put in the biggest stone you can, and the owner then matches the fence height to it so that the stone just peeks over the top. So that everyone around can see how big a rock stands in that garden. And behind me you’ve got a perfect example. Here we have a really tall fence, a hedge, and even two stones sticking out above it. Which means nothing less than that the owner is really – maybe not necessarily respected – but definitely a wealthy and well-off Japanese man. We’re riding into a ski resort, which is where we’ll sleep tonight. Look how different these mountain areas are – the buildings, how spread out things are – compared to what you get down in the lowlands. And we’ve still got the last of the sakura here. This is what it looks like when you arrive at a ski resort in summer. We’ve reached our place for tonight. We’re staying in this little guesthouse, and I’ll show you around in a second because it’s pretty interesting. Here’s the entrance – look. You walk in here and you’ve got a sign telling you to take off your shoes. Shoes go here. Right here I leave my shoes, and put on slippers, and then you walk around in slippers only. Dawid, do you like this style? A bit like in Poland – only in Poland you’re not required to put on slippers. Here, look – this is the shared area. You can sit down, relax, there’s even a sofa, which isn’t that common in a Japanese living room. The TV also isn’t obvious – the samurai probably didn’t have one. What day of the trip is it today? Day fourteen of our ride across Japan. We’re leaving Hirugano and heading straight to Shirakawa. The next few days will be really tough – over the next three or four days we’ve got almost eight thousand metres of climbing planned. That’s a lot. But that’s how the route goes and we have to ride it – there’s basically no alternative. We’ve got to get out of these mountains somehow. Look what we’ve come across on the way to Shirakawa – two unbelievably massive cherry trees. And I read that in Japan there are cherry trees that are a thousand years old. These trees behind me were transplanted here – forty-ton trees were moved because of a dam project. As you can see, they took root just fine – there are blossoms all over them. We don’t know if they fruit, but they’re really impressive. They look incredibly old. According to the sign, they’re over five hundred years old. And when they bloom, it just looks stunning, doesn’t it? I’m already disgusted with this day. And we’ve arrived in Shirakawa. Just look at these houses. And here’s a little shrine. We’re already in Shirakawa, wandering around the village, and I have to say it’s absolutely beautiful – it was definitely worth coming here. Really worth it. Since 1995 the village has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The roofs here are really interesting – the technique is called gassho-zukuri. They’re very steep, thatched roofs, really standing out from typical Japanese buildings. Also, here in Shirakawa the houses are much bigger than in most of Japan. That’s because they used to raise silkworms here, and they needed a lot of space for that. Shirakawa was cut off from the world practically until the 1950s, so it only opened up very recently, historically speaking. And you can see the results here – local culture and tradition have been preserved, and now we can admire them in an almost unchanged form. 762
00:47:28,933 –> 00:47:31,000
We went inside one of the houses, called the Wada House. And the roof structure you can see here is really, to my eye at least, breathtaking. We’re on the first floor now, and from here you can really see how huge this building is inside. One big open space. And it’s no surprise – this house belongs to the village headman, so an important figure in the village. You have to admit, the headman had a pretty nice view from his window. At the start of our climb you can already see that these wooden, steeply thatched houses are not just for show. Even outside the village people really do live in houses like this. Our last stop in Shirakawa before the big climb of the day is the observation deck. And look – there’s even a lady working here as “photo staff”. She takes people’s pictures. Three hundred metres. Kommot has really sent us the wrong way. Road closed. The only road within a sensible distance is shut, so we have to look for an alternative. We somehow need to get to Takayama. There are some buses, so we’ll try to get there by bus if we can. There’s a highway that goes straight to Takayama, so we’ll see. Now we’re heading to the bus terminal, I think. We’re at the bus stop with a very kind Japanese gentleman – we tried out if the bikes would fit in the bus luggage hold, and they do. We got his approval. We’ve bought tickets to Takayama, and in about an hour we’ve got a bus to Takayama. Unfortunately that’s how it went – the road is closed and we have to do this stretch by bus. Under the bus there’s an intense discussion going on between the drivers about our bikes. The ticket guy said yes, and now he has to face everyone else. We’ve arrived in Takayama by bus. We grabbed a quick ramen here, did some shopping, and now we’re heading into the mountains. The second part of the day will be like this: tonight we’ll sleep somewhere in the mountains. We don’t know where yet – we’ll see how far we get. And tomorrow morning we won’t have a shop either, so we’ve got food, we’ve got water, and we’ll see how far we manage to get today. It’s half past three, so we actually don’t have that much time left. Not that much daylight. Today our relationship with Japanese barriers is very… complicated. Look, a monkey. So I guess tonight we’ll have to watch out for monkeys. We’re starting the final climb of the day now. We probably won’t finish it today – it’s fourteen kilometres long. We found a village at kilometre ten that might work for us. There’s a public toilet there, and we’re hoping there’ll be a shelter, but if not, we’ll just pitch the tent somewhere in a park. After a while it turns out that monkeys might actually be the least of our worries tonight. While climbing, to our amazement, we spot a bear sitting right at the top of a tree, literally just a few metres away from us. The whole situation freezes us so much that we don’t even dare to reach for the camera or our phones. From that moment, finding a safe place to sleep becomes a pretty high priority. We made it and we’ve found a place to sleep literally half an hour before complete darkness, at some campsite. We called the campsite we’d found on Google Maps, and the lady on the phone said we could come. But when we arrived here, it turned out there’s no one around. The cabins at the campsite – just basic, empty cabins – are open. So we’re just going to sleep in one of them, and we’ll see in the morning whether someone shows up and we have to pay, or not. Anyway, the campsite doesn’t look great – more like an abandoned one – but there are lights on, so maybe it’s just a bit run-down. In any case, we’ve started our main climb, and tomorrow morning we’ll just keep going up. It’s starting to rain now, it’s already getting dark, so honestly we’ve absolutely nailed the timing with this place. Before we say goodbye, though – YouTube has recently launched a new feature, “Boost”. It helps small channels like mine get noticed in the sea of videos. If you’re enjoying this Japan series, I’d really encourage you to click “Boost”. We’ve reached the end of the day, and also the end of the week, which means the end of this vlog. Of course I’ll be back on the road tomorrow, and you’ll see what happens next in the next episode of the Japan series. And don’t forget – subscribe, like, and comment, because it’s thanks to you that these videos can be made. Take care, see you next time, bye!

Rowerem przez Japonię – Tydzień 2

Drugi tydzień zaczynamy już na Honsiu. Pierwsze dni to balansowanie między przejazdami przez duże miasta a ucieczką w górskie drogi, gdzie wybór sprowadza się do jednego: albo podjazd, albo sygnalizacja świetlna. Naszym celem jest Kobe – ja chcę naprawić drona, Dawid spróbować słynnej wołowiny. Nie wychodzi ani jedno, ani drugie, a jeszcze dopada nas deszcz. Dopiero Kioto okazuje się dla nas łaskawe: dobra pogoda, steki z wołowiny Kobe, nowy dron i zachwyt świątyniami. Odwiedzamy też tradycyjną ceremonię parzenia maczy.

Z Kioto ruszamy na północ, objeżdżając jezioro Biwa i kierując się w stronę Alp Japońskich. Pogoda się psuje, częściej chowamy się w Family Marcie, ale konsekwentnie ciśniemy dalej. W niedzielę docieramy do Shirakawy-Go – małej górskiej wioski, która przez lata była odcięta od świata i dzięki temu zachowała swój unikalny charakter.

Wyjazd z Alp okazuje się trudniejszy niż wjazd. Droga jest zamknięta przez osuwisko, więc ratuje nas autobus do Takayamy. Spóźnieni ruszamy dalej w stronę przełęczy Nomigi, gdzie trudno o nocleg. Po drodze spotykamy niedźwiedzia siedzącego kilka metrów od nas na drzewie, co skutecznie odbiera chęć spania na dziko. Ostatecznie trafiamy na camping z pustymi, ale otwartymi domkami i udaje się tam przetrwać noc.

To drugi odcinek serii o przejeździe Japonii z południa na północ. Kolejne filmy będą pojawiać się w kolejne niedziele o 9.00.
