Alone, Not Lonely: 3 Days Riding Japan Solo | Project 47 Ep.4

Описание: Japan's Best Kept Secret: Solo Adventure in the Wilds of Oita

I found a solo rider’s paradise in Oita, Japan—miles of empty winding roads, hidden shrines, and absolute silence. In this episode of Project 47, I leave the tourist trails behind to explore the rugged heart of Kyushu, proving that Japan’s wilderness is far more expansive than people realize.

From navigating misty mountain passes to discovering massive hidden waterfalls and stumbling upon a "Forest of Legends," this journey is about the freedom of the open road and the peace of the Japanese countryside. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to travel solo through the "real Japan" where the crowds don't go, this ride is for you.
What’s in this Episode:

⛺️ Solo Wild Camping: Finding the perfect spot to pitch a tent under the stars.

💦 The "Niagara of Japan": Discovering the massive Harajiri Falls.

⛩️ Hidden History: Exploring abandoned mountain shrines and ancient underwater caves.

🏍️ The Rider’s Life: Dealing with bike drops, loose mirrors, and the realities of long-distance touring.
