Cycling: Nagoya – Nara – Tsu
Back in 2002 I cycled from Tokushima (徳島) in Shikoku (四国) to Nagoya (名古屋) over two days on my now well-used Nishiki mountain bike. I remember the ride being in two distinct parts. Firstly, the journey from Tokushima to Wakayama (和歌山) by ferry, followed by a great day riding through the countryside of northern Wakayama and…

Cycling: Kii Nagashima to Shima

Photography: Shima & Minami Ise ・志摩市・南伊勢
なぜかまだまだ分からないけど、三重県の南伊勢・志摩市・尾鷲地方をとても気に入っています。行きたくて行きたくて仕方がない。 *カメラのトラブルがあったが結果は結構好き。 I don’t know what it is about the Minami Ise, Shima, Owase region of Mie prefecture but something’s got me fixated.
