Project 47: Motorcycle Adventure – Exploring Japan – Ep #1 Kagoshima
#MotorcycleTravel #JapanMotorcycle #MotoCamping
Welcome to Project 47, where I embark on a journey to explore all 47 prefectures of Japan, one by one, over 47 episodes. In this first chapter, I take the Honda GB350S for a 1000km, 6-day adventure through the rugged beauty of Kagoshima Prefecture. Along the way, I visit tranquil shrines, peaceful waterfalls, historic sites like a samurai house and the Chiran Peace Museum, and even get up close to the powerful, active volcanoes that define the region’s landscape.
Camping along the way in my LoneRider MotoTent, I embrace the full experience of motorcycle camping — waking up in nature, cooking simple meals, and immersing myself fully in the Japanese outdoors. The trip isn’t just about the destinations but the journey itself: the roads, the moments of solitude, and the connection with both the land and the culture.
Along the way, I also indulge in Japan’s incredible food — from crispy katsu curry to warm bowls of ramen and soba. Whether you’re a fan of motorcycles, camping, or just love Japan’s history and stunning landscapes, this series will offer an authentic and grounded experience.
At 46, I’ve come to appreciate the simple, peaceful moments on the road. Join me as I continue this journey through all of Japan, one prefecture at a time.

Thanks for bringing us along for the ride of a lifetime 👍👍
Merci pour ce beau périple,qui permet de nous évader et découvrir un insolite pays.
Je suis de France et je vous suit depuis quelques mois et vos vidéos m ont poussé a acheter une gb 350 s grise que j ai reçue la semaine dernière, déjà 400 km de ballades autour de chez moi malgré le froid au matin ( – 4 C !)
Bravo a vous pour la qualité de vos films.
Cordialement.

A truely beautiful video ❤
now that was a ride! So many beautiful spots to see all along the route, I feel like if I took that route, it'd take me a month to finish just because I want to see all the places haha. Good riding, hope there wasn't much damage to yourself and the bike. I have had 3 drops so far in 2ish years of riding and fortunately all of them were either slow speed or I couldn't put my foot down quick enough.
wow look cool!
Its just Spielberg and you…🫠
Again,👌🏻🔩🏍️🇯🇵
Awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along for the adventure. I really appreciate how you take the time to explore instead of just rushing from checkpoint to checkpoint—it makes the journey so much more immersive. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Just goes to show, you can tour on just about any size motorcycle, the GB350 seemed to perform well…love the ‘keys inside the tent’ moment! A very cinematic production, can’t wait for Prefecture No.2
Nice video 👍
What is the name of the luggage rack?
Just just picked up a GB350S
Cheers from Denmark
When you go to Yamanashi, go to Lake Motosu. The view across to Mt Fuji is breathtaking. 20:46
