Currently i have reached Kanazawa, just few km away to my weeklong base for Utmb KagaSpa next week.
The Nakasendo n ShimanamiKaido are popular routes lots of ppl already did.
The San'in coastal to Echizen coastal, not much talked about. i guess its because the gap between towns and supermarket/konbini resupplies kinda scarce, let alone accomodations thats under business-hotel pricings. and the coastal old roads with rolling elevations.
Anyway, some pics from my izumo→Kanazawa stretch .
Getting back to Tokyo, i probably continue coastal till Kashiwazaki(a lil before niigata) then cut inland towards Yuzawa>Takasaki
*26 riding days. i dont ride everyday as i also do some runnings/rest day from rains.
cc-touring, i dont camp

Dude, Ive been enjoying your weekly posts a lot man! So glad, people discover how great Japan is for bikepacking. Ive bikepacked there in 2024 and will be 3 months again this summer for about 9500km. You are currently cycling the west side from Kitakyushu up north. My exact same route I have planed too! Great seeing and recognizing some spots that I have already set and marked on my potted route
You carry a chainring with you…do swap your chainring depending on how hilly the day is
