Thos summer I cycled from Tokyo to Kobe (4 days) and then Kobe to Fukuoka (4 days). I stayed in hotels and Japanese Ryukon. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I wants to do it again bit further down south and I am thinking of camping few days along the way. I wonder if anyone else is interested. I am very flexible. My email is dpercyk@hotmail.com
