Day 22: Hokkaido Finally! Rice balls and Curry. (160km) | My 12500km Lap of Japan on Bicycle

0:00 – Intro
Day 22 was my first day in Hokkaido! Hokkaido is massive and took me 3 and a half weeks in total to traverse. I was anxious about cycling Hokkaido and for good reason. It’s huge and has some nasty winds… the adventure begins on day 22.
I took a very early ferry to get across from Aomori to Hakodate. Then rode 160km along the coast to Yakumo.

This is a vlog of a day during 12500km lap (June 2020 to Oct 2020) around Japan on bicycle! I try my best to eat delicious Japanese food, visit amazing temples/nature spots, work remotely and edit videos (on my iPhone) all at the same time!
