Cycling day 10: Back to Naze

Door David · Reis: Japan 2026 · 247 km

I took the time for a short swim and Suchern kindly lent me her snorkel this morning! Saw some nice, colourful fish, but I was only on for a short time, so no sea turtle swimming companion for me.

We're cycling back up to the port at Naze today to catch our ferry to Kagoshima this evening.

Nice, sunny day today 🌞

Beautiful here!

· Japan

The sea is gorgeous here, as are the forests and rocks, but it's a bit of a challenge cycle touring due to the big hills to get to the food shops, lack of veggie food at the restaurant and having to beg or steal (we snuck into the hotel bathroom a couple of times s they had a water cooler and wanted £1.50 for a 500ml bottle of we bought it) drinking water.

Beautiful here!, Japan

Stop to wander up to a shrine above Naze

Google maps let us down on the shine, but we got a good view of Naze from the observation deck.
