[RBW] Re: Tandem tour of Japan
2 weeks, 8 days on the bike, plenty of time for sight-seeing and eating. Basically we took a train from Tokyo to the north coast, rode around the Noto peninsula, and from there to Kanazawa, Hikone on Biwa Lake, Nara, and Kyoto, jumping on trains every once in a while to bridge distances that were too large. Then back to Tokyo on the Shinkansen. For a pleasant bike tour in Japan, basically stay away from the population centers along the south coast of Honshu.

14 days, 8 on the bike. Check these maps for routes: Part 1, actual: http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8hl=enll=18.796464,98.660059spn=6.840065,9.140625z=7 Part 2, planned, but got changed last minute (see text): http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8hl=enll=18.796464,98.660059spn=6.840065,9.140625z=7 We took trains to connect from and to Tokyo, and to bridge bigger distance through less interesting terrain.

[RBW] Re: Tandem tour of Japan
Thanks for the amazing set of pictures. I have traveled to Tokyo several times on business, and love it as an extremely livable city-- it's perhaps one of my three favorite metropolitan areas. Wish I can do a similar tour one of these days.
