Anyone living/traveling in Japan?
Let's meet.
I am currently in the north western part of the island. Crossing to the eastern part later today to have a look at the Fukushima area and after that ride down to Tokyo. I still have half a bottle of 7-Eleven whiskey ![jeiger](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/jeiger.gif) , got stories to tell and I enjoy long walks on the beach.
Hit me up, cheers.

If you are passing through the Nagano prefecture area near Karuizawa or Komoro, let me know. I am not able to have guests stay over at the moment, but I am sure I could get a friend nearby to take you in.
If you are still around in October, there is a travelers' meeting near Mt. Fuji.

Thanks for the info.
I will be in the area during the next week or so. I will let you know. I think I'll miss the meeting just by a week or two. But if I'm still here then I won't.
I'll let you know something once I head in to that direction. That venus line isn't going to ride itself.
Any tips on getting a sim card without much hassle and ¥?

You can try Softbank. I think they have a prepaid SIM service.
However, they usually require ID with a Japanese address.
If you will be in one place for a while, you can try this:
b-mobile VISITOR SIM | b-mobile wireless internet (Data only. No voice.)

Don't forget that even Hondas require petrol next time!

Yes, until I can afford a new Japanese bike.
Unfortunately, many of the good Japanese dual sport bikes are NOT available in Japan.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
