I just came back from a little over 2 weeks touring through Japan, taking the long way around from Tokyo to Kyoto (Komoot link).
Did a little over 840 km of riding and 9100 m of climbing along the way and visited the Izu peninsula South of Tokyo, before heading up into the mountains and West through the canyons towards the lakes near Kyoto.
Visited Blue Lug Yoyogi Park, Circles in Nagoya and of course I's bicycle/Cycles Grand Bois in Kyoto.
Super fun trip. Did zero camping even though I was carrying full camping gear XD Just didn't work out this time with the route I took/I was lazy sometimes.

Yooo I came across your bike on a forum when researching for my Koga Miyata Randonneur. You’ve got such a cool bike!
I hope to do a Japan trip too some day.
