Japan 2019 - Osaka

We are on another adventure with our bicycles and tent. This time: Japan! The plan is to cycle from Osaka to Fukuoka and back, through the islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. There are very few official bike trails, so we have downloaded and mapped GPX tracks from other cyclists and will have to adapt to conditions and traffic.

First impressions of Osaka (keep in mind that this is the golden week, the biggest Japanese holiday):

View from the hotel room 

Osaka castle before and now - check out the queue on the right to get in, which is the second one after you queue to buy the tickets!

Empty subway station (only in the morning!)
