Your base in Japan – ride light, explore deep.Stay in one place. Ride out each day. Discover Japan at your own pace.
At Mototourist, we offer a unique way to experience motorcycle touring in Japan.
Instead of riding long distances and changing hotels every night, our tours are based on a single hub location. This style gives you the freedom to explore Japan at a slower pace, without the stress of daily packing or long transfers.
Japan is seeing a growing number of charming lodgings created by restoring old houses. These accommodations, comfortably refurbished from traditional Japanese homes built over a century ago, offer the perfect place to experience Japanese culture.
Additionally, the long-established hot spring inns found throughout Japan are equally appealing. A journey exploring magnificent three- or four-storey wooden buildings and superb hot springs is truly one of the great pleasures of travelling in Japan.
Why Base Touring?
- More Relaxing
Stay at one comfortable accommodation throughout your trip and feel at home.
- Flexible Day Rides
Each day, set out on scenic routes—mountain passes, coastal roads, or local villages—and return to the same base in the evening.
- Deeper Local Experience
With more time in one area, you can truly enjoy the local culture, food, and hidden gems that are often missed on fast-paced tours.
- Less Luggage Hassle
No need to pack and unpack every day. Your belongings stay safe at your base.
The Perfect Balance
This base touring style is ideal for riders who want both adventure and comfort. You’ll enjoy Japan’s diverse landscapes and cultural highlights, while always returning to a relaxing place to rest and recharge.
