Take my bike up to the northern tip of Japan this August and pedal south and west 'till there's no more Japan left. Counting on about 2 or 3 months.

Day 46
NaganoDistance:12km
Dawn service at Zenkoji - the sacred temple around which Nagano was built. The big old wooden temple is home to one of Japan's "hidden buddhas" - supposedly the first buddha statue ever brought to Japan, and being too sacred for human eyes, is never actually seen, by anyone, ever. A replica is sometimes on display, but we were 3 years too early for the next viewing of even that. We spent the day chilling out at Erica's house, waiting for Nate's tent to arrive (the one he has now leaks). Unfortunately when it got here it was much bigger than he remembered, so he's stuck with the small but leaky one for now. In the evening, went to an okonomiyaki party with a fun group of Erica's students (and finished the meal with a fried parfait!).
