Japan

[AbominableSnoMan]

Anyone know of places to ride in Japan? I will be moving there in a couple months and I am hoping to bring a snow bike. I see there's a TON of snow in the north where I'll be and I'm curious to see if anyone has been there or knows someone who might be able to "show me the ropes".

Thanks!

Offer zero knowledge but have seen some crazy videos of people on some Yamaha's in some great snow conditions. Be bucket list place if I was a millionaire I guess!

There are a couple of guys posting on here who are from Japan.
I've seen pics and vids of crazy deep powder. Looks like some great boondocking and tree riding.
They love high horsepower and engine mods. There have been a lot of high end sled shipped over there from CMX and Tison (back in the day). They loved running the big PSI triples.
Now I think a lot of them ride a lot of boosted Yamis, but there are two strokes there too.

YouTube search it... You'll find a lot of videos.

Definitely a bucket list place to ride.

They do lunch like I do.
But they need to discover the jetboil and Mountain House lunches. Lol
