Masaru and Cary from USA - Honshu

Somewhere in the hills around Sera, Japan

Greetings!

We had a great ride into the hills surrounding the farming communities around Sera, located between Hiroshima and Okayama.  On the way back we headed south to Onomichi and took the coastal route, arriving at Rental819 just in time to return the bikes.  My friend Cary and I were able to visit his ancestral homeland and we even went to “ohaka maeri” and to visit a nearby local shrine.  So peaceful and pleasant.

I would like to especially recognize the staff person at Rental819 who helped us rent the bikes. While we were getting ready to ride out, he gave us some great tips on the local okonomiyaki scene and it was great to see how concerned he was about our plans the next day.  I regret that I did not get his name, but please give him our best regards and thanks.  I travel often and it’s the people who you meet on your journeys that make the trip!

I hope that we can ride again with Rental819 bikes in the future and of course, I will recommend Rental819 to my other friends and mention how easy the rental process was for us.  The bikes were brand new, too!

Sincerely,

Masaru

Evo from Hong Kong - Kyoto

It was a really good experience to rent a bike from Rental 819 to explore Kyoto! When I decided to rent a bike for my Kyoto trip, I searched on internet, I found Rental 819, and started to contact their agent. They replied me extremely fast! And sent me all the information that I needed! Unfortunately the first day I arrived to Kyoto it was raining, I had no choice but to cancel the booking.

Luckily the weather was good on the next day, so I sent an email to reschedule my booking in the morning. They were really helpful and confirmed me very shortly! And I really had a good time with the Kawasaki W800 in Kyoto! I really appreciate about the service they provided! I am sure that I will choose Rental819 in the near future when I visit Japan! Thank you so much :)

PS: I also bought a shoei helmet in the shop! The price was really reasonable!

I would like to thank Rental 819 for their service.

It was a fantastic trip that I had always dreamed before.
The staff at Rental 819 Fukuoka Marina were really nice and helpful.

I rode from Fukuoka to Kumamoto's Aso mountain with a Kawasaki ZRX1200DAEG, it was about 200km. It was a pity that I only had a day to enjoy the touring.

I will choose rental 819 again next year!

Arthur from Taiwan - Kyoto

My wife and I wanted to ride in Japan in this beautiful season that is Autumn. 

We rented a Kawasaki Estrella from Rental 819 and rode to Nagaokakyo, Kitano, Shimogamo, Ohara, Nanzenji and Higashiyama Tofukuji. We also tried on the traditional kimonos in Kyoto!

I want to thank Rental 819 for helping us enjoy this beautiful season, and also for their friendly service. I will choose Rental 819 again next time. Thank you Rental 819 team!

 

Bryan from Australia - Tokyo & Kyoto

During a recent trip to Japan, at the last minute I decided I would like to ride a bike for a day. With only little more than a days notice, the helpful team at Rental 819 was able to hook me up with a sweet MT-09 and a helmet and send me on my way for a day of adventurous Tokyo riding. With the help of my trust compass and the setting sun, I had a ball of a time getting used to the amazing Japanese way of life on the roads.

Then a few days later when I was in Kyoto I decided to ring up the 819 crew once more and this time get a bike for three days, so I could sample some of the sights and tackle some of the twisty stuff around Lake Biwa.

I was not disappointed! This time with a little more warning, I was able to walk into the Kyoto store and steal away with a ZX14-R (that I fell in love with) and had the most fantastic time of my whole trip. The roads around Kyoto and Lake Biwa are like a bikers Disneyland. Breathtaking. And the crew at Rental 819 was able to make it happen for me.

I will definitely be hooking up with them again next year when I travel the length of the gorgeous island of Japan in 2015.
