Your dates. Our roads. Two riders at most.
A fully supported ride through Tohoku and Hokkaido, built around how you ride rather than how a group does. Bikes, ryokan, ferries and the occasional apology to a farmer, all handled. We take a handful of departures a year and don’t publish prices. If that’s a problem, this probably isn’t for you.

THE OUTFIT

We’ve ridden these routes so your GPS doesn’t have to guess.
Moto Maverick started with one simple idea — stop recommending roads we haven’t ridden ourselves. We run small, working directly with riders and local partners on the ground in Tōhoku and Hokkaido, rather than running a franchise playbook. Every route in this guide has been ridden, checked, and ridden again before it goes in.

These routes aren’t researched from a desk. They’re ridden, repeatedly, in every season.
