Cycling Japan

Japan

Japan is a country of intrigue with roots tied to centuries old including the Samurai Culture and Bushido Code that has molded present-day practices. Many of the old customs and habits are still being honoured. With the many visits to the country, I found them to be generally quiet, neat & clean and treat visitors friendlily.
