My name is P'An-Tau. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia and am an avid MTBer. I am an active committee member and the registration and timing coordinator for the local MTB club in Adelaide - Adelaide MTB Club.
Why am I here? I'm heading to Japan for 4 weeks - 22 Jan to 22 Feb - and starting out with 2 weeks of skiing. After that, I have no plans, but I would be very interested in romping around the countryside on my MTB.
So, is it worth bringing my MTB over with me? Is the weather suitable for MTBing? What is Japan like for getting around with a bike - i.e. on trains/buses/etc.?
I'm experienced with travelling domestically with my bike for races, so I'm familiar with putting my bike in a box, etc. if it's required.
Be good to hear of anyone's experiences, local knowledge and tips.
Cheers,
PT
