The gusts came in hard, snapping the fabric and flexing the poles. I lay there for a moment, wondering if the whole thing might rip apart. There was no waiting it out—I had to move. The tent, fly, and groundsheet had turned into giant sails, as I tried to disassemble everything without breaking or losing anything. I was genuinely worried the wind might catch the sheets, tear them free, and send them tumbling into the sea.  In the rain and chaos, I broke everything down as methodically as I could, forcing wet fabric into my panniers while the wind fought me the whole way. By the time I finished, everything I owned was soaked. I pushed through the howling wind and stingin...

June 2, 2026 Day 4 Yaizu to Ikeshiricho - 147Km Start 6:42AM Finish 5:20PM Total Duration 10:38 Moving Time 8:04 Stopped Time 2:34 Ascent 802m Descent 781m Tour Total  575Km Details at: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/387605457   I slept well stealth camping atop the seawall near the port of Yaizu. My earplugs did their job, muting the clatter of ships being loaded and unloaded through the night. I did miss my eye mask, though—left behind in Tokyo. It turns out it’s not just for flights. Daybreak comes early here, around 4 a.m. I rolled over to a nearby FamilyMart for a Craft Boss latte. The sky was starting to cloud over, though rain wasn’t expected until early afternoon. The coast was alive with fishing activity—operations of every size. At one point I passed a group of men inspecting a massive net spread out along the shore. Traffic picked up as I followed the coastline. I watched a group of schoolchildren being shepherded across the street by a crossing guard, then soon afte...

June 1, 2026 Day 3 (Fujinomiya 5th Station)  Fuji Base to Yaizu - 131Km Start 6:01AM Finish 6:23PM Total Duration 12:22 Moving Time 8:10 Stopped Time 4:12 Ascent 1881m Descent 2829m Tour Total  428Km Details at: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/387406660 I slept surprisingly well wild camping at the base of Mount Fuji. My tent was tucked neatly into a grid of pine trees, the gravel beneath me more comfortable than expected. It turned cold in the middle of the night, and only in the morning did I realize I’d slept with the flap open. Dawn came early, and the birds made sure I knew it. I shoved in my earplugs and stole another hour of sleep. When I finally got moving, I packed up my kit and drank the coffee the American tourists had given me yesterday in Hakone. Back on the road, the climbing began immediately. An LED road sign read 13°C. It was a perfect morning—clear skies, though from beneath the trees I could only catch glimpses. Whenever the forest opened up, Mount Fuji appear...
