Ride Thru is a cinematic documentary channel following long-distance motorcycle journeys across Japan and beyond.
Project 47 documents a solo expedition through all 47 prefectures of Japan — one road, one region, and one chapter at a time. No support crew. No fixed route. Just the realities of life on the road.
These are slow, immersive travel documentaries built around atmosphere, endurance, isolation, weather, fatigue, chance encounters, and the changing landscapes of the journey itself.
New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

The new Ride Thru Japan website and merch store are now live! 🎉
You can follow Project 47, explore the journey so far, and check out the new Ride Thru shirts, hoodies and stickers here:
👉 ridethrujapan.com/
This is more than just merch. All profit from every sale goes directly back into funding the journey—fuel, ferries, accommodation, camping and everything required to keep producing the series.
So, when you wear Ride Thru, you are genuinely helping keep the wheels turning and supporting the next chapter of the adventure.
Thank you to everyone who watches, shares, comments and supports what I am building. It means more than you know. 🏍️🇯🇵
The road is the story.

I’ve opened up channel memberships for anyone who wants to support Ride Thru a little more directly.
The first level is called Team Riders. You’ll get members-only updates from the road, plus this cool stitched-style badge next to your name.
No pressure at all, but if you enjoy the films and want to help keep the trips, fuel, ferries, campsites, and coffee moving, it genuinely helps.
Thanks for being part of the ride.

A huge welcome to everyone who has recently subscribed to Ride Thru.
If you just discovered the channel, the full journey is already underway.
Project 47 is my solo motorcycle journey across all 47 prefectures of Japan — one ride, one prefecture, one chapter at a time.

Tonight’s new episode continues the journey, but if you’re new here, this is the best place to start.
Thanks again for being here. I’m reading as many comments as I can from the road, and I really appreciate all the support.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has recently subscribed to Ride Thru.
The response has honestly been amazing, and I’m loving reading all the comments. I’m currently still on the road, so I’m working through them whenever I can, but I really do appreciate every message, story, and bit of encouragement.
If you want to follow more of the journey between videos, I’m also posting updates, photos, and behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram:

Hi folks, hope you’re all enjoying some warmer riding weather!
The next episode of Project 47 releases in 4 hours, and this time we’re heading to a part of Japan most people have probably never heard much about: Shimane.
This one turned into a seriously cool ride through an area often considered the spiritual birthplace of Japan.
That’s right — it isn’t Kyoto.
As an added bonus, you also get to meet my in-laws, as Shimane is my wife’s home prefecture.
Hope you’re enjoying the ride. I’m honestly stoked to have you along for the journey.
And remember to leave a comment and let me know what you thought. Reading them is genuinely one of the best parts of my day.
Happy riding, folks!

Hi Folks, just 2hrs away from the release of the remastered Fukuoka episode. 🎬
Thank you all for your amazing support in getting this new channel off the ground. Each time you kick back and watch an episode you tell YouTube to show the series to more people.
Spent the last 3 hrs riding in the rain, so off to dry out and rest up a little. Stay safe out there and Happy Riding folks! 🙏☺️☺️
