[Cycling Japan] Kyoto to Osaka River Cycle Path | Bikepacking Trip Day 3
Welcome to day 3 of our Kansai Japan Bikepacking Trip. In today's video, we'll be cycling from our hotel in Kyoto to our new hotel in Osaka. Most of the way there is a river cycling path with no cars, but it's full of really annoying barriers for safety.. We counted 24, but there may be even more..
We were extremely lucky this entire trip with great weather and today was another perfect day for cycling with nice blue skies and cool weather. My wife Thuong was starting to get a little bit tired since she's not very used to continued days of cycling, so we stopped for a nice big early lunch to fuel up for the rest of the ride.
Fortunately, today's ride wasn't very long (only about 50km), and we quickly made it to Osaka without any problems. Apart from the barriers, the cycling path from Kyoto to Osaka is very nice and really wide most of the way. There's also a lot of sports facilities along the way (mostly baseball), and there were a lot of people out today enjoying the nice weather.

Japanology Plus 2016 06 30 Bicycles
At first glance, Japan’s mountainous terrain and the narrow, crowded streets of its inner cities may make the country seem like an unlikely haven for cyclists.
And yet even without the broad, flat vistas, and widespread cycling lanes of recognized pedal paradises like Denmark and the Netherlands, bicycles occupy a key place in the Japanese lifestyle.
According to the National Police Agency, in 2013 there were over 71.5 million bicycles on the road in Japan -- almost 1.5 for every household. Bicycles are quite commonly used for at least part of a trip to and from school or work.
And while Japan-made components (particularly from the city of Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, which, as we discovered in Bladed Tools, the third edition in this series of Japanology Plus, has a long history of metalworking) are key to many of the bicycles that grace the world’s most prestigious competitive cycling events, the real icon of Japanese bicycles is a steed that evolved to meet more prosaic needs.
As its name suggests, the mama-chari -- a term combining “mama,” for, well, “mama,” and “chari,” a slang term for bicycle -- was originally developed as transport for mothers out on the school run or a trip to the shops.
The most immediately identifiable feature is a front-mounted basket in which to stow your shopping, while in many cases the sturdy frame with its kick-down rear stand is also fitted with a child seat, sometimes one each at front and back.
The frame is also shaped to allow riders to mount by stepping “through,” rather than over, preserving the modesty of those wearing skirts or dresses. A rear fender, meanwhile, keeps flowing garments from becoming tangled in the spokes. In the 1990s, further support for mothers carrying heavy loads up steep slopes came in the form of power-assist models with a motor to augment pedal power.
But despite, or perhaps because of, its unglamorous, clunky charms, along with supreme functionality and low price, since its debut in the 1960s the mama-chari has gone on to become the chariot of choice for many people of all demographics: from high-school students to salarymen. It now accounts for an estimated 80% of all bicycles on the road in Japan.
There are even competitive mama-chari track meets held around Japan, giving riders of all ages and abilities (including, in this edition, Japanology Plus reporter Matt Alt) the chance to go hell-for-leather around tracks that might otherwise host kart races.
Japan also has a more serious competitive cycling heritage, with four Olympic medals to date for the various cycling disciplines, including keirin, a high-speed track race that originated as a sport in postwar Japan, and made its Olympic debut in 2000.
The popularity of bicycles is, however, not without problems. Although dedicated bicycle-parking areas are available around many suburban train stations, the lack of official sites in some more crowded inner-city areas often leads to mass illegal parking. The area around Tokyo Station reportedly sees over 200 bikes deposited illegally each day.
More serious is the number of accidents involving cyclists. Although these figures are also on the decrease, 2015 saw 98,700 accidents caused by cyclists, including 577 fatalities.
While riders distracted by mobile phones, steering one-handed while using an umbrella, or listening to music are undeniably common, the narrow, convoluted streets of Japan’s inner cities are also a major factor. On roads that often lack even a separate area for pedestrians, it can become a free-for all, with cars, cyclists and pedestrians competing for space.
As Peter Barakan finds out, this can be a rather hair-raising experience for cyclist and pedestrian alike, and it is no surprise that accidents often result. The last few years have seen the police start to enforce cycling regulations more strictly.
Japan has nevertheless been described by some aficionados as “the world’s third-greatest cycling nation.” And it’s only set to get better.
Bicycle rental schemes in tourist hotspots such as Kyoto offer a great way to take in the sights, while scenic routes and organized cyclothons have been central to regional revitalization around the Seto Inland Sea in western Japan.
With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics approaching, there are plans to make Japan’s streets even more bicycle friendly. And if Japan’s cyclists can pick up a few medals on home turf, even better!

Cycling from Kyoto to Osaka -- How Long Is It?
Cycling from Kyoto to Osaka is definitely a long journey. Let me know if you've ever taken such a journey, if it's possible to cycle from Nagoya to Kyoto in 5 hours, and your longest cycle (both in hours & kilometers/miles).
P.S. I couldn't help but be reminded of Yowamushi Pedal while cycling like crazy throughout Kyoto -- which is where the quote comes from (Naruko Shoukichi). Regardless of your decision, you're in full control. I chose to stop & it was one amazing journey.

2016 Japan Trip - Osaka Bike Tour (Part 1)
Lemme tell you, this was probably one of the most fun experiences we have had in the three years we have come to Japan itself, as we took a tour of nearly the entire city of Osaka by bike. If you really want to see a lot of the city itself, I highly recommend checking these types of tours out. :)
Her First Time Using New Cycling Shoes & SPD Pedals
We’ve gotten a lot of comments on our YouTube channel for my wife’s accomplishment of cycling 200km to Osaka from Nagoya on flat pedals with regular shoes. Many people have told me to get her a pair of cycling shoes, and we finally did that! Today, Thuong will be trying out her new cycling shoes and Shimano SPD pedals for the very first time!
Diadora X Trivex Plus II Womens cycling shoes
I actually bought her these shoes a couple months ago, but we were lacking cleats for her to use, and then she had to go back to Vietnam for a few weeks. After arriving back in Japan, we had some rides already planned, and didn’t want to risk learning on the main roads, so we decided to wait..
Today we went to Morikoro Park's Cycling course, which is a safe 5km course for bicycles only.
