About Us — Mototourist
With more than 25 years of motorcycle touring experience across Japan—from Hokkaido’s wide open roads to Kyushu’s volcanic coastlines—Mototourist was founded to share the joy and depth of motorcycle journeys in Japan with riders from around the world.
Japan offers an unmatched environment for motorcycle touring, where scenic coastal routes, mountain passes, and traditional rural landscapes meet rich local culture and history. Riding a motorcycle is not just transportation here—it is a way to experience the essence of Japan’s geography, lifestyle, and traditions.
About the Founder – Hideyuki Doi
Hideyuki Doi is the founder of Mototourist LLC, established in 2025. He graduated from Waseda University with a major in Japanese Literature and has been deeply involved in Japan’s motorcycle industry for nearly two decades. From 2008, he worked at Webike, Japan’s largest motorcycle enthusiast platform, developing rider-oriented digital services and building partnerships with over 1,000 motorcycle shops nationwide. These experiences gave him deep insight into Japan’s motorcycle culture and the real needs of riders — both domestic and international.
As a lifelong motorcyclist, Hideyuki has ridden extensively throughout Japan, exploring hidden backroads, remote mountain passes, and coastal highways that most visitors never see. His passion is not just the thrill of riding, but connecting riders with authentic local experiences and the spirit of each region.

A Message from the Founder
I founded Mototourist LLC. with a simple conviction — that Japan offers one of the best environments in the world for motorcycle touring.
Having traveled extensively across Japan on two wheels, and also toured through Europe and Asia, I came to realize how uniquely rewarding it is to ride through Japan’s diverse landscapes — from its coastal roads and mountain passes to its countryside villages rich in tradition.
At the same time, Japan faces the challenges of population decline and the fading of its rural communities. Many traditional houses, customs, and local industries are at risk of disappearing.
Through Mototourist, I want to connect global riders with these regions — encouraging travel that not only brings joy and discovery, but also helps preserve the culture and heritage that make Japan special.
By experiencing Japan’s satoyama landscapes, staying in renovated traditional homes, and connecting with local people, riders can become part of a meaningful journey — one that supports the future of Japan’s countryside while celebrating the freedom of the open road.
