New Japan Schedule
Alrighty !! i am done wz the Trip's daily schedule !! :-D
i can say it is 80% firm. i have almost all transfers & accommodation info ready.
As well as Places of interests. the rest will have to be done on ground.
Home Work for team :
. research a bit and list wz ranking what would u like to do, eat, go for in :
-Tokyo
-Nagoya
-Kyoto
Generally, there are 4 areas to look into for inspiration.
(Places, Food, Culture / events, Museums... etc)
i try to include them in the plan as much as possible.
. consider protection from rain & cold for rider & Brompton.
-i will be sewing brompton covers for all.
. think abt clothing sets to bring. i am having generally :
- 5 sets top
- 3 sets bottom
- 1 set jacket / coat for cold protection.
so basically i will need abt 3 washes during the trip.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to do a trip similar to yours next Spring. I'm planning to fly into Osaka and start cycling past Kyoto onwards to Tokyo and depart from Narita. Do you think 2 weeks is a feasible time to do that?
