How I Cycled The Length Of Japan, And How You Can Too

Описание: In May 2024, I spent 27 days cycling the length of Japan, a nearly 3,000km journey from the southern shores of Kyushu to the northern tip of Hokkaido.

It was an incredible trip, I made a short film about it and from that video I got loads of questions from people who are interested in doing a similar trip cycling through Japan. Here’s a quick guide to some of the most commonly asked questions about my cycle.
