Why is Everything so complicated in Japan 🇯🇵 S8 EP 110 | Pakistan to Japan Motorcycle Tour

I think it’s written in Japanese. I just passed by and didn’t notice. As you can see, there is nothing without proper planning and engineering of everything. I have to park here. Parking of the bike will be at the place designated for bike. I can park my car when in the hotel, but I can’t park my motorcycle. Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone and welcome back to the channel from exactly I don’t even know where I am. Yesterday evening, I tried to find camping sites, guest houses, bed and breakfast in many places. But finally, I found a place here. You can see my tent behind me. I had a very comfortable and enjoyable night. I had a good night’s sleep. I took a shower in the morning. The water was warm. But the camping season has not started yet. Maybe it will start when the kids are off from school. Because of which, the facilities here are not very good. Let’s see when I get a chance to spend the night at a good camping site. Today’s plan is to pack the camp and leave from here. I will go to the ferry terminal, which is 230-240 km away. It will take 5-6 hours to reach there. Let’s see if I can get a ferry today or not. If not nearby, I will spend the night there. Let’s pack the camp and leave. (prayer for journey) May I have a safe and blessed day ahead. I have paid 750 yen here. I had taken permission to spend the night here. and will leave early in the morning. They had made a box for me to put the money inside. I was about to leave when he came. So I paid for it. Most of the campsites here are privately managed. You have to pay for it. Some of them are very good. You may have to pay $20 or $25 for it. But the facilities there will be good. I will go through the small paths. It may take more time. I explore the highway route first and then I look for interesting places. Then I change my route accordingly. I wanted to avoid this pass at night. As it’s mentioned that there are bears at night. That’s why I didn’t want to get caught. So, I didn’t go there at night. Tourists have started arriving here early in the morning. The cafes and restaurants should be open by now. Most of the shops are closed till now. Although it’s 9 am. They should be open by now. There is a small village about 60 to 70 km from here. Where I will find convenient stores. Look at the construction work. They ask you to stop and apologize politely. I have reached the pass where there are bears. I couldn’t see any bear all my way. Except for this sign board. I have been stopped here. Construction work is going on at the bridge. I will have to wait here for about half an hour. He might allow the motorcycle. It would be best if I am allowed to go. He is asking me to leave. The engineer who came from there saw a biker standing. He let me go. They are building a bridge here. Thank you very much. I took advantage of being a biker here. There was enough space to let the bike go. I saw a cafe. Let’s take a short break here. Actually, you can’t see anything. They have put up a small sign board here. I think it’s written in Japanese. I passed by here earlier and didn’t notice. Its open. It’s very traditional. Hi, how are you? It’s closed. It’s closed? Okay. No problem. Thank you. Let’s go. It’s okay, I will go somewhere else. It’s easy to find a convenient store here. This is the family mart. This is the first time I have faced such a problem in a small village. Actually, I used to find convenient stores in all the areas I have visited. But I think I have gone to remote areas. That’s why I couldn’t find anything. Check out the village here. I am sure there are many houses where no one lives. It’s impossible that no one can be seen. There is a Porsche parked in front. Let’s park beside it. There is no place to sit here. Let’s get it and stand outside. I have picked up something to eat from here. I have taken a blueberry flavored yogurt drink. I have potato and egg sandwich here. I didn’t get tuna sandwich today. That is better. I have also got coffee here. Let’s enjoy here. and see which route I have to plan next. I don’t want to go on narrow roads. The roads like the last 10 km, are wide and the distance can be easily covered. Narrow roads closer to the pass, close take a lot of time. Unless I see a nice road, then I will go through that. Let’s try to reach the ferry terminal today. I have entered a small village. Although this was not on my route. But I found this beautiful scenery. So, I thought I will take a round here. Then I will get back on my route. Along the rice fields, the small roads look so beautiful. Check how neat and clean it is. Look at the clear water. There is nothing without proper planning and engineering. Japan is a small country. but their agriculture is a huge industry. They use science and technology very efficiently. You can see that they have set up a farm here. And they are growing vegetables here and there. They utilize their land very well. I am from a village. So I know a little bit about agriculture. But they are way ahead of us. We poor farmers neither have proper training nor education. So they can’t have this kind of production. I have asked for ferry timings. It goes till late night. I will have to see if I can find a place there. At least I will go to the ferry terminal. If I find a place there, I will reach the other side of the lake and book a hotel. If not, then I will book a hotel on this side. Which Kawasaki it is, ZSRR. There is an ambulance coming from behind. Both of us have parked it on the side. No one will move from their place. People do this in most of the countries. They provide the path as soon as possible. I have found a good place to sit. Let’s take a break. Today I’m not taking a coffee break but an ice cream break. The temperature is around 30 degrees. I had coffee a while ago. Let’s try an ice cream. This is my first ice cream in Japan. I had it in Sapporo before. It was very delicious. This is also very good. I think I got it for 400 Yen, which is around 2.5 USD. I am 23 km away. The name of this board is Misaki. This area has some cliffs. The scenery is very beautiful. Especially it’s sunset now. The light is also beautiful. Today I have mostly avoided cities. I have passed through small towns and villages. But wherever you go, there is a lot of greenery. I have reached the port. I have checked the timings, it leaves every hour. Let’s see. If I get a place or if the timings are correct, we will know. I might have seen it wrong. But I had confirmed it with Arif. If I get a place today, then I can leave. I am uncertain about tomorrow. It might be crowded early in the morning. At this time, it will be less crowded. Let’s see if they have made a place for motorcycles or not. This is the place for motorcycles. I might have entered from the wrong side? There are no motorcycles at this time. Let’s park at number 1 and get a ticket. I have got a ferry ticket. It is an hour’s ride from Misaki to Saganoski. On the other side, there is a relatively bigger town called Oita. I have already booked a hotel there. So that I can go straight to the hotel as soon as I reach. This ferry is for 4400 Yen. Approximately 30 USD. It’s an hour’s ride. Not a very long duration. It costs 30 USD with a motorcycle according to the cc. It’s quite expensive. Anyway, the advantage of this is that you don’t have to go all the way by road. If there are tolls on the road, or petrol charges, if you add all these expenses, a ferry still costs you a similar price. Could even be cheaper as well. So let’s wait for the ferry. We have entered the ferry. I have to park here. To align with that red line on the floor. Not completely on the red mark. Will also tie the motorcycle. Let me take out the stuff that I need. He’s putting a cloth on the seat so as to keep it safe. Let’s leave now. Can’t stand here. So this is our ferry. It is quite luxurious. Better than the previous one. Similar … But it has a better vibe. Live sports coverage on TV. A good sitting arrangement. Here you can see vending machines. You will find them almost everywhere. But mostly, you can get something to drink. There are tatami rooms here. Let me show you. There is a cafe here. But it is closed right now. Because it is a late ferry ride. The timing is a bit late. So the workers might have left. You can get noodles here. Hot water is coming. If you are hungry, you can have it. Look at the tatami rooms here. They are very comfortable. I have kept all my stuff there. I think they have kept life jackets here. Let’s go this way. There are toilets here. There is no need to show you. Let’s go outside. Check this out. We have reached. The car drivers will leave first. Then it will be our turn. When I used to go to other places, they would tell me to park anywhere I could find space. But here, just like they have separate parking for motorcycles and bicycles, they follow the same principle in ferries as well. And there can’t be more vehicles than the designated parking places. I think here there’s space for 6. There could be another section with 5 or 6 parking slots, at max. This was our second ferry ride in Japan. There are motorcycles here as well. The hotel is 27 km from here. We will reach there in the next 35-40 minutes. I’m keeping an eye out for some halal food place. In that case, I’ll prefer to get dinner before going to the hotel. We won’t have to come back for food, then. We need good food today. I have been eating properly since morning. And people still say that I eat a lot. I only had a sandwich in the morning. And a piece of croissant, later on. That’s it. Let’s see what we get to eat. I’m afraid I might have to buy something from 7-11 once again. Some things are really good in Japan, but there are some which are awful. One of them is that they have made the parking really difficult. You can only park a motorcycle in the motorcycle parking area. I can park my car in the hotel, but I can’t park my motorcycle. There is a parking 1.1 km away. I have to go there and park my motorcycle. Then I have to walk back. It’s a strange situation. This is the parking where I have to park my motorcycle. This is our room. As always, we got a beautiful and comfortable room. As you know, the rooms in Japan are mostly small. In my experience, when I take a single room, there is not enough space to even comfortably pack/unpack my stuff. That’s why I took a double room today. I paid $45 for this room. No complaints about the room. The only problem is that I had to park my motorcycle a 20-minute walk away. Have to do that again in the morning, when I go to pick it. You notice a lot of things like that in Japan. I am not sure about the reason behind only having a parking space for cars, in the hotel. But no parking space for motorcycles. Although motorcycles take up less space. Anyway, I just had dinner. It’s 12 o’clock. Most of the restaurants were closed. Luckily, we found an Italian restaurant. We got pizza from there. It was very noisy there. From the people in the nearby clubs. It’s good that we are full now. Let’s rest now and get some comfortable sleep. We will go somewhere else in the morning. That’s all for now. Remember me in your prayers. Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe and Share. Allah Hafiz.
