Big in Japan | Cycling Hiroshima to Kure | Cycling Across Japan Ep. 21

🚴 Watch the complete Cycling across Japan series:    • Cycling across Japan   In this episode of Cycling Across Japan, I leave Hiroshima behind and cycle towards the historic port city of Kure, stopping at places that reveal both the tragedy and resilience of this remarkable city. Along the way, I visit the Atomic Bomb Hypocenter, explore the surroundings of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and ride past Hiroshima Castle before following the beautiful coastline towards Kure. But Japan isn't only about history. At the end of the day, I check into my accommodation and experience one of Japan's most fascinating traditions: the Japanese bath. Why do you wash yourself before entering the tub? Why is the bathwater shared? And what makes Japanese bathing culture so different from anywhere else? If you enjoy Japan travel, cycle touring, bikepacking adventures, and discovering the culture beyond the usual tourist attractions, you're in the right place. 🚴 In this episode: Cycling from Hiroshima to Kure Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Hiroshima Peace Memorial area Hiroshima Castle Coastal cycling in Japan Japanese bath culture explained Daily life in Japan Solo bicycle touring adventure If you enjoyed the video, please like, subscribe, and leave a comment—it really helps the channel reach more people and supports this journey across Japan. #Japan #CyclingJapan #Bikepacking #CycleTouring #JapanTravel #Hiroshima #Kure #BicycleTouring #TravelVlog #SlowTravel #JapaneseCulture #AdventureTravel #VisitJapan #cyclingadventure During my journey across Japan, I have taken photographs of the places, people, landscapes, and quiet moments I have encountered along the way.
