Hey guys, I’m planning to cycle across japan in the next few weeks. I might get absolutely rinsed for this but I’ve never done such a thing before, but im young and fit and love pushing my body and mind to depths of pain (it’s not a kink). I also have the privilege of time, so im in no rush once I start, other than the 90 day visa.
Originally, I was planning on just getting hotels/guesthouses to sleep in, but I’ve been weighing up camping. I haven’t got the gear for it yet nor done camping this way before. I’m trying to save as much money as possible while I do this but I know I wouldn’t camp 100% of the time. Maybe I would try aim for a 60/40 split, in favour of camping. The whole setup would set me back around $600 aud for a decent setup off marketplace. Do you guys think it’s worth it, with the price and extra weight, etc.
Thanks in advance, please don’t rinse me for doing this. I’m doing the length of Japan regardless. And see the pic for the bike I’ll doing he journey on (minus the equipment lol)
