Cycling in Japan: Minami Machida, Sakai River, Fujisawa & Enoshima 4K
Join me for a cycling ride from Minami-Machida to Enoshima in Kanagawa, Japan.
Starting near Minami-Machida Grandberry Park, I follow the Sakai River towards Fujisawa before continuing to the coast at Enoshima.
This was my very first cycling video, filmed using my GoPro HERO10 Black, so feedback is very welcome!
I'll add commentary next time.
Camera Gear Used on This Ride
Here's the equipment I used to record my first POV cycling video.
GoPro HERO10 Black
My main action camera for cycling videos. Reliable 4K performance, excellent stabilisation and still more than powerful enough for POV ride footage.

GoPro Magnetic Swivel Clip
A surprisingly useful mount. I use this for quick attachment to bags, clothing and temporary positions when experimenting with camera angles.

GoPro Media Mod
The Media Mod includes a built-in directional microphone with wind protection, which helps improve audio quality when recording cycling footage, especially at speed or in exposed coastal areas.

SanDisk Extreme microSDXC Card
Fast, reliable storage for recording 4K video. I prefer using a good-quality UHS-I U3 / V30 memory card rather than risking dropped frames or corrupted footage.

Bring Kamakura and Enoshima Home With a Wooden Map
I create handcrafted wooden maps here in Japan. My Kamakura and Enoshima layered map celebrates this beautiful stretch of the Shonan coast, with its beaches, streets and distinctive coastal landscape. It's a lovely way to remember a favourite ride, a visit to Enoshima or time spent exploring Kamakura.
