This one is all about our summer break bike touring trip! We cycled around 4 prefectures in Japan (Ishikawa, Toyama, Gifu, and Nagano) for 7 days, covering 430 Miles and 34,824 feet (or 690 Kilometers, 10,601 Meters ).
Our cycling route took us from Uchinada (outside Kanazawa) to Hida to Kanayama to Tsumago-juku to Matsumoto to Shirakawa-go and back to Uchinada.
We talk about riding on the historic Nakasendo road, staying with a host who is the 14th generation to live in his house, seeing two castles (Matsumoto's is one of 12 original castles left in Japan!), villages with gassho style houses, seeing the 75th annual fireworks show on Lake Suwa, swimming in rivers, and eating all kinds of snacks.
Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.
