Ride Thru Japan

Ride Thru Japan is a solo motorcycle journey across all 47 prefectures of Japan. This is Project 47—a grand tour exploring the real Japan beyond the tourist trail.

After 26 years living in Japan, I'm rediscovering the country one prefecture at a time: mountain passes, coastal roads, rural shrines, local food, and the unexpected moments that make solo travel unforgettable. No scripts, no challenges, just genuine storytelling from the road.

Each episode is a full riding day with natural sound, honest narration, and the planning, weather, and detours that come with long-distance motorcycle travel. If you want to see Japan through the eyes of someone who knows it deeply and rides it solo, this is your channel.

New episodes weekly. Start Project 47 at Episode 1.

What you'll find: solo motorcycle travel across Japan, motovlog documentary series, route planning, cultural stops, historic sites, real travel experiences, English commentary, mature audience.
