Who

What

The goal is to do an unsupported transit of mainland Japan by bicycle in 90 days, the length of a single-entry tourist visa. That means hauling all our stuff with us. To make things more interesting we decided to pull trailers behind our road bikes and camp as much as possible.

When

  • Start -- April 11th, 2024
  • Finish -- July 10th, 2024

Where

  • From -- Cape Sata, Kyushu, Japan map
  • To -- Cape Soya, Hokkaido, Japan map
  • Via -- Intended route map

Why

Japan has a rich history, great roads, and is super safe.

How

  • Jane -- 2021 Liv Avail Advanced 2 (Shimano 105 modified with 11-40T cassette) + Burley Coho trailer
  • Brian -- 2023 Specialized Roubaix Sport (Shimano 105 modified with 11-40T cassette) + Burley Coho trailer
