Conor from USA - Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi

Conor from the US rented a MT07 from our shop in Ikebukuro to go to visit Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. December and January is cold, but it is when the sky is more clear and Mount Fuji can be viewed better ;)
He sent us this nice comment and video:

The MT07 was such a great bike, and I was lucky enough to catch the mountain unobscured from lake Kawaguchiko.


Thanks to Rental819 for being a great bunch of guys. I'll definitely be back with some friends in a few months!


Here's a small clip of the trip:

Sami from Finland - All Japan

I just want to thank Rental819 for helping us to arrange our trip in Japan. 

Everything went well and we are very happy with the roads, scenery, people and basically everything in Japan.

We managed to visit all the places we intended to, so from that point of view the trip was also a success. Our total traveled distance was around 7500kms in 18 days as we spent one full day of our 19 days  in Fuji-Q :)

The bikes were working perfectly and it was really a good fun.
So thanks again for your help, I will definitely recommend your company to anyone traveling to Japan!

With kind regards,

Sami

Matthew from Canada - Motegi Moto GP

I am back home after an excellent weekend. I still can't get over the noise of the Moto GP bikes... 

I wanted to thank Rental819 again for all their help and advice with choosing a shop and a bike.  The Ducati Hyperstrada was really nice and comfortable on the highway.  Everyone at the shop was pleasant, and we managed to get back roughly in time.

Next year we will definitely use Rental819 again if we are going back to Motegi Moto GP.

Sincerely,

Matthew

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

Cary

Aaron from USA - Honshu, Kyushu

One Thousand plus miles of Japan via 125 CC Suzuki Street Axis

...Upon being asked where we were planning on going at the rental shop, we replied casually with "hoping to make it to Kyushuu". "Eeeeeeehhhhhhh" was the response we received...
