TRIP OVERVIEW
Yokoso! Japan welcomes you for an amazing tour from the ancient capital of Kyoto through the heart of land of the rising sun passing from the cliffs of Tojinbo wandering the forest bathing in natural volcanic onsens climbing Japanese alps to the Castles in Nagano and around the mighty Mt Fuji to the modern capital of Tokyo.
This will be a unique adventure in bike packing unlike any place in the world Japan is mystical and rich with culture and natural beauty. With 70% of its landmass completely un inhabited the best kept secret is the amazing combination of security and wild off grid living. You are never too far from help and yet it is never too far to solitude and maximum serenity.
For the success of this expedition and the safety of all participance the creation of a strong team is absolutely imperative. No one will be left behind or in difficulty for any reason. It will be the responsibility of not only the guides, but also of each team member (participants) to help solve any and all kinds of problems that arise during the trip. It will not only be an unforgettable journey, but also a unique opportunity to experience self-education in group consciousness, to share joy in fatigue, planning, organization, coordination, in defeats as well as in successes.
“In the autmn night Breaking into A pleasant chat ” —Matsuo Basho
