Motorcycle Travel Japan

Riding in Japan by Motorcycle

Ride Thru Japan follows Adam Lewis on Project 47: a cinematic solo motorcycle journey through every prefecture of Japan. If you are searching for what it feels like to ride Japan by motorcycle—coastal roads, mountain passes, cities, ferries, camps, weather, mistakes and quiet backroads—start here.

A Real Motorcycle Journey Across Japan

This is not a rental itinerary, a top-ten travel list, or a quick guide to famous attractions. Project 47 is a long-form motorcycle documentary about crossing Japan one prefecture at a time and letting the road decide what the story becomes.

The Ride Japan section is where practical riding articles, tips, tutorials, route notes, and Japan motorcycle travel advice live. Add posts to Tips & Tutorials or Ride Japan and they will appear below automatically.

For riders planning their own Japan motorcycle trip, the episodes and articles show what the roads look like, how the journey feels, and how different each region becomes once you leave the obvious tourist trail.
