Cycling Japan 2009

On my first bicycle journey I spend almost 4 months in Japan and cycled more than 2000 fantastic miles up and down in the Land of the Rising Sun. First I went to Mnt. Fuji with Robert from Germany, later on my own into the Japanese Alps. There I met an Japanese bicycle traveler and learned a lot from him. I went on a pilgrimage on Shikoku. My Japanese really improved a lot, far away from the tourist track. Every day of these 4 months I've had such warm and welcome feeling in this marvelous country.
