The trip started in Tokyo 27th of march 2017 for 71 days.
My dream always was to travel Japan, but as I grew older, the way I wanted to know Japan changed a lot. First I just wanted to go there and see anything, then I wanted to see some special things, and then I started to dream about a South to North trip, I wanted to see all the different places of Japan because I heard from everyone about Kyoto and Tokyo all the time, but when I started researching I understood that there was A LOT more to see than just cities. I am a chef/baker, so I really wanted to try as many things as I could. I do agriculture, I like to camp, I like to walk in the woods, so I visited a lot of places that were really far away from the main tourist attractions, as well as many touristy places because some of them are worth it. We traveled by, plane, ferry, cargo ship, taxi, bus, bike, foot and hitchhiking. We worked in farms for 22 days along the way and got to live with some very special people for some days.
Special thanks to Kayo Kamo, Café Cockapoo, Miyazaki!! and Eiji and Mayumi in Ida!!!
The biggest adventure was getting to Yakushima. From Kagoshima station 1 hour and a half bus to the dock, 12 hours ferry in the night with a layover. Bus 1 hour into the forests from the docks of Yakushima, 7 hour walk up the mountain to see Jomon Sugi, a 7000 year old tree. 6 hours walk down the mountain to take a bus back to town and sleep, a well deserved sleep. It was a dream come true to be in a cargo ship in the morning after sleeping and looking at the Island getting bigger as you close in. Nature and energy in every inch of the forests of this beautiful place.
Next I will put a list of some of the places and cities we visited:
Narita, Tokio, Naha and Nago (Okinawa), Tokashiki (Okinawa, Islas Kerama), Kagoshima, Yakushima, Kirishima, Yoshinomotocho, Miyakonojo, Miyazaki, Udo, Takachiho, Amanoiwato, Kumamoto, Yamaguchi, Akiyoshidai, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Nishiawakura, Tottori, Onomichi-Imabari (Shimanami Kaido), Himeji, Kyoto, Takao, Hikone, Kanazawa, Takayama, Shirakawago, Toyama, Kurobe, Nagano, Iida, Matsumoto, Nikko, Sendai, Yamadera, Onuma, Sapporo, Tokio, Kamakura, Enoshima, Yokohama, Kawaguchiko, Mitaka.
I am sorry that at the end of the video in the parts of Tohoku and Hokkaido there isn’t much material, by the time we got to Sendai we were late for the schedule we had planned and in Hokkaido we were out of season for most of the things to see and do there and everything was very very far away by train. I will do another trip for Hokkaido, Tohoku and Shikoku.

I asked for their permission to use the song but never got an answer, still this is not a commercial video is just a personal video. I’m sorry.
