Alternative programme in Japan

Me and my bike arrived safely to Nagoya, Japan. The first days in Japan could not have started better. I had a great time with my host Albert and his lovely family. Albert is a passionate cyclist himself who cycled all over Japan. His advice for my upcoming plans here in Japan are of great value for me.
Albert picked me up at the train station where I assembled my bike. Together we cycled along the coast to his home. That was a magnificent ride at sunset!
The remaining days, we cycled around town and the coast where he introduced me to some of his friends. There was for example Daichi who is building a skate park in his yard. He gave us a quick show on his BMX. We ate in different restaurants, visited a Reggae concert at the beach and went to a local bike shop to get my bike ready for cycling Japan. Watching the sunset on a SUP was one of my favourite moments.
What’s more, I was invited to Albert‘s Junior High School where I gave a talk on my journey. At the same time, I had the pleasure to meet a few of his teaching colleagues from school. Overall, it was an amazing experience for which I am Albert and his family deeply thankful.Read more
