Hitchhiking in Japan was one of the most awesome things i´ve done in the year i´ve been there.
I have never waited longer than 2hours for a ride, people were very friendly and curious (luckily i did speak a bit japanese). They go out of their way to bring you to your destination (its important to say that they can drop you of on their way and that someone will pick up).
Most people think they are the only ones that would pick you up ^^
They will share their drinks or even stop to buy a soda for you.
Even if you say no, some insist to invite you to lunch
.....

Together with the awesome hostel on Rebun-to this was my best experience!


Back home after 1 year work and travel in Japan and 3 month in Korea: www.teglas.asia (text is in German, but see the pictures!)
