The mountain ranges known as the Japanese Alps are a spectacular backdrop to our ride across Nagano Prefecture, its forests glowing with the late autumn colors. With many 3,000m peaks, Nagano is popular with climbers and we’re given a brief taste by a world-class mountain guide. We’ll meet people drawn to live here by the forests, including a man who left a top cabinet making career in Tokyo to craft uniquely distinctive furniture from these wild trees, and a group of friends who devote their spare time to caring for the woods.

Our cyclists have ridden 14,000km around Japan. We’ve chosen the most invigorating scenes as well as new footage for you to enjoy.

And then see how these landscapes were shaped by farming communities in harmony with the sea, rivers and mountains. Touring by cycle isn’t just the most exhilarating way to go, it also gives you the closest look at the land.
