New project! Starting Sunday, I'm going to be attempting to cycle the length of Japan — 3,000km from the south coast of Kyushu to the northernmost tip of Hokkaido. I'll be sharing photos and stories from the trip as we go, if you'd like to follow along: oscarboyd.substack.com/about

We plan to cross all four of Japan's main islands: Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu and Hokkaido, and visit some of my favourite places in Japan: Aso, the Kiso Valley & Koya-san, as well as plenty of others I've never heard of.

Expect stories and photos about volcanos, food, quaint rural villages, struggling cyclists, and lots more from the road (no spam, I promise). Wish us luck for the big mountains, and read more about the trip. oscarboyd.substack.com/p/im-…
