I've just wrapped up a snow play holiday in Japan. While there I saw a lot of promotional material about mountain bike riding during the warmer months. I even saw a few rental bikes on display (my favourites were hung outside a shop and buried under about 1m of snow!), mostly low end all mountain dual suspension or fat bikes.
I was unable to gain any in depth information about what riding styles were catered to and the quality of the trails etc. Most of the images presented were of happy groups riding along fire roads in beautiful scenery, but the usual gnarly catch phrases were present as well...down hill, gravity, chair lift, gondola ride...and nearly everyone in these towns owns a front end loader or bulldozer.
I know a few burners have spent significant time in Japan, hopefully some of you are able to shed some light on what is actually on offer?
