Rider, storyteller, film maker and Japan’s adventure motorcycling voice!
I’m the creator of Arch Japan Motovlogs, and this channel is where I capture motorcycling through the lens of life on two wheels in Japan.
It all started 30 years ago during a business trip in Egypt, when I watched from afar two riders power through the desert on large touring bikes. That moment sparked a dream: one day, I’d own an adventure bike and start my own touring journey. In 2022, I finally bought my dream machine—the BMW GSA 1250—and launched my touring adventures across Japan’s most epic roads.
Every video comes straight from the seat of my bike, sharing the places I’ve explored, the lessons I’ve learned, and the stories that define life on two wheels in Japan.
Motorcycling isn’t just what I do—it’s how I live, and it’s what has shaped my path.
So get onboard, subscribe, and join the growing Arch Japan community!
New videos every Friday CET or Japan Saturdays JST don’t miss the next ride.

No new video this week.
I’ve been on the road for the past 7 days and haven’t had the chance to edit.
Regular uploads will resume soon — I’ve captured a lot of great footage that I’m excited to share with you.

Hey all, unfortunately I will not be posting a weekly video today as I've contracted food poisoning on the recent trip down to Kyushu which has hampered my video production for this week. I'll be back next week again.
