Summary Post: Japan

October 26th, 2012 by DC

Well, Japan was an amazing (albeit expensive) country! Such an awesome mix of western and eastern cultures.

Here are the numbers!

  • Days in country: 31
  • Days riding: 16 (And a few more days of a little bit of riding to get to and from ferries)
  • Kilometres ridden: 1129km
  • Running total (nearest 10km): 9200km
  • Accom cost: ~YEN70,000 ($NZ1,070) (Pretty much all hostels, nasty!)
  • Other costs: ~YEN145,000 ($NZ2200) (Lots of money went on ferries to get between islands and to China, as well as some camera gear)
  • Favourite food/drink: Karaage chicken- the Japanese really do know how to make tasty deep friend chicken!
  • 1 nights in a campground, 27 night in a hostel, 1 Couchsurfing and 3 on ferries!
  • Favourite photos (a few because it was a whole month): East and West, Children in Hiroshima, Boats in Kyoto, Bamboo Forest and Nagasaki at night.
