Kit Loose, EXO Japan Adventure Product Development Manager, shares his perspective on the joys of cycling in Japan and what makes EXO\u2019s trips truly extraordinary.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Kit first visited Japan as a 14-year-old, when his family moved to Tokyo for a few years. It didn\u2019t take him long to fall in love with the country<\/strong> and its people. <\/span><\/p>

He has been returning ever since and recently joined the EXO Adventure team, where he balances his time between developing customised routes, training guides and drivers, leading group cycling trips<\/strong> and seeking out the best bowl of ramen.<\/span><\/p>

\u2018I don’t have to work hard to sell Japan,\u2019 Kit admits. \u2018Japan sells itself because of its gracious people<\/strong> – there is no other place like it in terms of the people. Add to that the spectacular scenery, the food and it is incredibly safe.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As the country\u2019s burgeoning popularity as a tourist destination in recent years has brought challenges of overcrowding, there are still plenty of authentic, lesser known corners<\/strong> of Japan. EXO Adventure specialises in cycling trips that showcase these quieter places<\/strong>– we asked Kit to explain more.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Pedalling away from the tourist trail<\/strong><\/p>

A key component of Kit\u2019s work is designing cycling routes that explore Japan\u2019s quieter, yet equally captivating, side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2018We aim to steer guests away from the beaten path, authentic experiences, veracity to where we go,\u2019 he explains. \u2018Through cycling, we\u2019re able to get to places that are kind of frozen in time<\/strong>, almost like living museums,\u2019 Kit continues. \u2018When we cycle through these rural places, people are curious about who we are and what we are doing – happy to see us.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Of course, safety is also at the front of mind when designing routes. \u2018Japan is a spectacularly safe place<\/strong>, not just in terms of personal safety but also the drivers are good and aware of cyclists. But on a lot of our routes, we do not have to deal with cars- once you get out of the cities it’s pretty unpopulated and we seek out roads with minimal traffic.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Bikes and support <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

In Japan, EXO\u2019s fleet of bikes consists of new model Trek road and hybrid bikes<\/strong> in varying frame sizes, allowing us to cater to a wide range of cyclists. We also own two customised vans<\/strong> used exclusively for cycling trips, with bike racks on the top and the interior kitted out to carry mechanic gear, snack and beverage service items and guests\u2019 luggage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Enhancing the guest experience are EXO\u2019s drivers, who are specially trained for cycling trips<\/strong>. They not only drive the support vehicle but also assist with bike maintenance, snack breaks and more. Kit explains, \u2018Our drivers literally and figuratively go the extra mile on EXO bike trips. Much more than simply drivers, they are partners of the tour guide or tour leader and give input into the tours as well as support the customers.<\/strong> Without fail, we receive very high marks on drivers.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Top notch guides<\/strong><\/p>

At the helm of each EXO Japan cycling trip are one of our incredible guides who, beyond\u00a0 their prowess in the saddle, bring a deep understanding of the customer experience. They bring a passion for cycling in Japan<\/strong> that is contagious and add extra value to the tour through their personal insight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Kit adds, \u2018Many of our guides are former professional cyclists and a few are local celebrities.<\/strong> There is a television program called <\/span>Cycling Around Japan, <\/span><\/i>where<\/span> one foreign cyclist goes around Japan by bike accompanied by a local host. Many of these hosts work as guides for EXO. The show is a great marketing tool for Japan cycling.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Unique local experiences<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Thanks to our vast network, EXO is able to leverage it to arrange unique experiences. This is especially true when it comes to visiting and staying in rural villages<\/strong>. \u2018There is one UNESCO World Heritage village that is packed with tourists during the day. But we\u2019ve arranged to stay there overnight,\u2019 Kit explains. \u2018The group is split into 3 or 4 different houses for a home stay, getting the chance for very personal interaction with the residents.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As well, the flexibility of being on the bike and off the main paths allows EXO\u2019s guides and tour leaders to make spontaneous stops.<\/strong> \u2018We go to small morning markets – we are the only foreigners there,\u2019 Kit says. \u2018And everyone is curious, coming up to us and asking if we like Japan.\u2019\u00a0 This very local, authentic type of experience<\/strong> is a welcomed change from what other tourists may experience at the crowded sites in Kyoto or Tokyo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
