Japan is a bit of cyclist’s paradise! It’s geographically gifted, the people and culture are intriguing and the food is incredible. After bicycle touring Japan for a month and covering 2500km from Tokyo to Hokkaido, let us tell you if the northernmost island is all it’s cracked up to be!

Yoshi! It was such a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for your hospitality.
I really enjoyed it, and it certainly won’t be my last trailer tour! I’ll be penning a review and a handful of trailer resources very soon – keep an eye out.
Nice! Did you find you were able to get affordable / cheap food?
As we were camping most of the time, we were using supermarkets which tend to be very cheap. During the day we ate out of convenience stores which were also reasonably priced. So, yes!
Nice work Alee, with your knowledge and connection maybe you should start a cycling tour company 🙂
