August or not, or yes, or......
Hi there Kurvenfieber!
Concerning your question:
it does not make a (big?) difference whether you arrive here in August or some other time.
Japan is (more or less) expensive all year round. However, since you are a RTW person, I guess you will spend most of your time in a tent or at "rider houses". Food wise (I assume you are from Germany?) Japan is more expensive. For a can of 300ml  you pay roughly Yen 200, 5 slices of bread (a little better quality) the same, 200 grams of butter Yen 400 and so on. On the other hand, if you go to supermarkets after 6 or 7 in the evening you will find discounted food (including lunch boxes) for a very acceptable price. Fuel, right now here on Shikoku Yen 115 l/regular. Be aware of highway fees .... veeeeery expensive! In case of any further questions, please let me know. Oh and by the way, Chris is the "MASTER" concerning any and all questions about Japan!!
