Today's Lunch

Been reading a lot of news stories about over tourism recently. To be clear Japan doesn't have an over tourism problem. Kyoto has an over tourism problem. Not sure how it can be tackled but the Japan National Tourism Organisation should find ways to encourage folks to visit elsewhere.

Today is a holiday I've seen the Japanese Legend movie. Not Ken Watanabe.

Tonight's dinner

We did it. 🫡 $1,061,100 raised. Goodnight 🫡

Without a doubt this was the single most awesome thing I’ve ever been a part of. Thank you all for donating! What a scene!

Absolutely INSANE ENDING to the Cyclethon at Tokyo Tower!! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the epic finale tonight. Half a month peddling, over $1million raised. It couldn’t possibly have gone better. Well done @CDawgVA for pulling this whole crazy thing off ✨

From Nagoya to Kyoto this morning And on the move again! Adventure from now on!

We passed the halfway mark of our seemingly endless 1,200km cycle. Thanks to everyone’s who tuned in and donated to the Immune Deficiency Foundation - over $400,000 raised so far! Here’s the album artwork for our debut album: New Kids on Doboroku.

We passed the halfway mark of our seemingly endless 1,200km cycle. Thanks to everyone’s who tuned in and donated to the Immune Deficiency Foundation - over $400,000 raised so far! I won’t lie it’s been tough. Every morning I wake up to throbbing legs, muscles sore from the day before. Every passing truck feels like a near death experience, and each day seems to now blend into one, with barely any time to recuperate between each stretch. But for every stretch of highway, the journey is punctuated with moments of beauty; a Torii gate in a quiet village, a serene moment by a gushing stream or the afternoon breeze across a luscious rice field. Having guests join Connor and I has been a real blessing too for morale; Garnt and Felix were legendary companions and I’ve more memories than I can count from the last week alone. From battling through torrential rains, and getting a brofist by Himeji castle, to being guided through Osaka by a kind stranger (thanks Toru!) and getting swept up in the crowds of a Hanami party at the Kintai Bridge. Thanks again for joining us on the first week of our epic adventure guys. 6 days to go and tomrorow is one hell of a day - wish us luck!

Oh dear god. The epic 1,000km Cyclethon 3 kicks off this Monday with @CDawgVA. A 14 day nightmare through Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagoya & Tokyo, alongside Garnt, Pewdiepie and Pete. And look, I'll admit, I might have got cold feet at the final hour. Sorry.

Only Natsuki could turn a fleeting glance of Meiji Jingu shrine into an impromptu rap 😂

Yesterday I met Chris in Tokyo for the first time in a while. I'm in Tokyo right now.

I don't know what it is, but I started.

I'll work hard for two more days to recharge my energy.

There’s not a single Japanese historic re-enactment that can’t be immeasurably improved by Natsuki.

Next year me, I have to go on more adventures this year.
