The whole thing in one map. Instructions not included. Read More …
We are in Japan! The plan is to cycle through Okinawa (check), then head towards Hokkaido (check), camping as much as possible. I’ll update the blog when and where I can, but we’re charging our computer in convenience stores and laundromats, and internet isn’t always easy to come by. Stay tuned…
…and here we are at the end!
We circled Okinawa, island hopped to Nagasaki, camped on Rabbit Island, checked on the pilgrims in Shikoku, saw the most beautiful parts of Japan in Wakayama, made it all the way up to Hokkaido, and then, in some sort of Japanese blur, got all the way back to the centre again to Shimonoseki. From here, there’s a ferry to Korea.
It was pretty goddamn difficult. Thanks for tuning in.
