My friends and I, three females and one male,ages 37 to 55, are planning a bike trip across Japan...the long way, about 1800 miles (2896 Km) from Kagoshima to the northern tip of Hokkaido. We are looking for a great cultural Japanese experience. We plan on leaving from the most southern tip of Kyushu (Sata) on March 15, 2008 and have until the end of May to complete our journey. We hope this will leave us time to enjoy everything Japan has to offer.. We would like to meet other Japanese as well as experience everyday Japanese life.

Also, we are willing to help at any project or job you may be doing. Need help in the garden, fishing, making Japanese food... Do you like to drink? We do too! You pick the task, we are willing to try anything. Please join us while we camp for eating great Japanese food. Do you want to join us for biking, we welcome your company.

Of course, this all will depend on if our schedule will allow us to take the time. We have never done a trip like this and don't know what to expect. Our plan is to leave the Southern tip of Japan and follow the Pacific ocean, then once on Hunshu we will follow the Japan Sea. We are willing to deviate somewhat. If we are in the area at the time we would like to meet you. Let us know.
