Secrets of Japan: off-the-beaten-path destinations. Stay Tuned.
In this video, I answer the question of How many prefectures I have visited, and how I got there. I don`t keep track of numbers, but the question got me thinking. So I scoured the map and my various journals and realized I have only two prefectures to go before I visit all 47! And how I got there? Well:
39 by bicycle
33 by car
30 by train
16 by sailboat
10 by airplane
9 by ferry
3 by helicopter.
I welcome the return of visitors to Japan. While the great cities of Japan have much to offer, I hope that the incoming visitors also discover the remote corners of Japan, which are rich in historical, cultural, geographical, aesthetic, and culinary treasures. It’s great to see that many of those communities are experiencing a renaissance as people of all ages are being lured by local authorities to move and set up businesses. I’ve seen firsthand their entrepreneurial spirit and how they offer a warm welcome to visitors! #travel #japan #entrepreneur
oh, and the two I have not yet visited are Shimane and Okinawa
Pacific Solo
Hi, I`m Lowell, a 67-year-old rookie sailor, and a never-too-later! I preparing myself for the biggest challenge of my life: a solo journey across the North Pacific. I am a Canadian living in Japan, and in 2019, I purchased Wahine, a 1988 Gib Sea 402. I moved on board while she was moored in Tokyo. In March 2021, I terminated my contract with the Marina and have been cruising Japan full time since gaining valuable experience all the while working remotely from the boat. Wahine is my home, my studio, and my lab. Join me on my learning voyage around Japan, trying to prepare myself for Pacific Solo. If you want to see where I am please go to my website and click on the Where`s Wahine Button at https://www.pacificsolo.com Also, if you are a fellow never-too-later check out www.nevertoolateacademy.com PSThe History Channel asked if they follow me into various remote ports for a new series called Dare to Dream. The pilot airs in Japan July 24th at 8pm.

Broken Gear, Sweat and Sunblock #boatlife #travel #sailingjapan

70, Sweaty, and Still in the Game #boatlife #japan #travel
Cardio at 70+? You bet. On the Boat I naturally get upper body workouts, jsut but doing what I have to do. But cardio and leg movements not so much. So, now that my foldable bike is fixed, I’m riding the hills around Buren Bay, with Wahine moored just ...

It’s a hot evening, so supper’s being cooked outside—simple chicken, spinach, and potatoes under the open sky. I’m using the mug my brother gave me from caribou country, where he’s living his dream in a tiny house with his wife Tracy. The heat m...
