This is a personal website mostly about adventuring into the mountainous regions of central Honshu and occasionally Hokkaido, Japan. I also visit Australia and the U.K.
Originally from the U.K. I moved to Japan in 2001 after completing a BA Honours in Japanese, living for one year on the island of Shikoku before cycling to Kasugai, just outside Nagoya, in the summer of 2002 during a typhoon. I’ve been here ever since.
My wife and I adopted a baby girl in early 2021 and it’s the best (and hardest) thing we’ve ever done. We also run our own private English school and Australia homestay program.
Over the last couple of years I’ve switched from mostly cycling and bike packing to hiking and walking. I enjoy exploring the Japanese Minami Alps and the Nakasendō. That change is reflected in this blog.
I’ve archived all the bike packing related posts but you can still find them here and the route finder here.
I’m on Mastodon and Glass. You can also find some of my hikes on Yamap.
I have an occasional newsletter, Restless.
Feel free to get in touch.
Sean,
Kasugai, Japan. 2023.
