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.

  4. Wow!! You took us on an amazing journey! 👏👏 You have a great sense of proportion in presenting the most beautiful landscapes, with fantastic pictures! I especially liked the Kusanoi restaurant and the breathtaking Sogi Falls! Ohh man, that is so beautiful!! I'm also looking forward to the end of the snowfall so we can go on another trip with you! All the best, Adam! 😊

  5. A big thank you for this superb walk and these beautiful landscapes.
    A little thought for the courageous machine, hoping that it did not suffer from its little fall. I am not worried about the guy, he seems solid! 😊

  6. Great video! Subscribed for part 2 and beyond; it's a long way to Souyamisaki 😛
    The GB350's a very pretty little bike, and it looks like it's finally gracing us europeans with its presence!

  7. im a person who just started to have obsession in motorcycles and doing long rides. this video really hits the spot! its one of my bucket lists to travel around japan with only a motorcycle but this video feels like i already did haha! looking forward to the next episode. ride safe always!

  8. Good morning from Italy, I saw that you changed the handlebars of the motorcycle, why? Nice ride, a little look at Japan, I like the style of the Honda gr350s, thank you very much.

  9. I saw that you changed your camping tent, the previous one was a bit small to put your luggage in, too bad it will surely weigh more, bye

  10. Say, I can't find anything about service intervals. When is the valve clearance adjusted etc.?🤔

  11. Really enjoyed this. I live in Satsuma Sendai. We moved here from the center of Kyoto 2 years ago. We jumped at a chance to buy some property down here. I love riding my motorcycle on the country roads here. I'm always amazed how many times the view looks like it could be made into a painting. I've sat on that Triumph Scrambler in Kirishima thinking of buying one. I've bookmarked several places from your video to visit in the spring. Looking forward to your future videos.

  12. Thanks for taking us with you on your beautiful trip.Enjoyed it very much.Checked out the places you visited on Google Earth while the video was running.Keep on rockin…Peace…

  13. I finally managed to watch the whole episode and I have to tell you, it blew me away, I love it buddy. thanks for sharing this with us 🙌
