Foul Weather Tryout

When we heard there was a Typhoon warning we tried

When we heard there was a Typhoon warning we tried to stay at a local camping instead of wildcamping. Just to possibly be a bit safer. The owner refused us to stay because he wasn’t willing to take the risk with new guests. Many of the people who were already there were leaving. We found this gazebo and called it home for the night the Typhoon would hit. Luckily it wasn’t all that bad though we had some strong winds and rain. A month and a half later Typhoon Hagibis would wreak havoc across many parts of Japan. At that time we were close to Hiroshima where the Typhoon was relatively mild (2019)

Besides an incredibly complex and layered culture

Besides an incredibly complex and layered culture Japan offers great opportunities for wilderness experiences. With around 73% of the land being mountainous there is still a lot of natural habitat to explore. We loved hiking above the village of Hakuba. A very demanding stretch as we soon would find out. This day turned out to be one of the toughest in our 2 year journey. You can see our struggles in the video here: https://youtu.be/5jEfNhM-wDg

The temples of Japan are amongst the most spectacular in the world. From small to huge complexes, most of them build with intricate detail and incredible craftsmanship. Narita-san Shinshō-ji, a Shingon Buddhist temple, was the first one we visited and one of the more impressive. Just like walking in a fairytale or being on a movie set. If you happen to be there very early you have the place almost to yourself…

Dense forests are incredible to cycle through. The sense of inclosure is mysterious. In Japan there could be bears and macaques in some parts. Seeing wild animals is one of the highlights of cycle touring for us, although an encounter with a bear would be scary to say the least.
