Living Abroad In Japan is a really nice book about everyday life, travel and culture in Japan. Just about everything you'll want to know (and need to know) about Japanese life. In addition to detailed and up-to-date (second edition, published September 2008 !) information about life in Japan, the book gives the reader a very good veiw of all parts of Japan by covering all regions of Japan. A great read whether you're planning a trip to Japan, or you're just dreaming about one !

The book recommends bicycles as a very good transportaion method, and mentions Cycle Tokyo! as a good resource for Tokyo biking information. Guess what... the book is written by Ruthy Kanagy, our Bike Friday advisor ! :-) Since she has experience living in Japan herself, the book is really down to earth in terms of living information.

Bike Friday : "*Japan Report* /Oideyasu/ means Welcome in Kyoto"

I've uploaded the report of the Bike Friday Japan Meeting 2004 held in Kyoto Japan. I found out how difficult it is to describe Kyoto in English, so it'll probably be updated continuously with additions and fixes. Enjoy !

Ruthy Kanagy -san, better known as "Orusu-san" to us fellow cyclists, previous resident of Japan and now Bike Friday's Japan attache has a book out :
Living Abroad in Japan : Avalon Travel Pub ; ISBN: 1566916720
This looks like Orusu-san's stab at the "real" Japan, unlike many other Japan books which put weight on tradition and history.

Last weekend, my friends and I spotted a blue Bike Friday Crusoe as we came out of "Toraya", a Japanese confectionary located in Akasaka. As we headed towards Aoyama on R246, the guy on the Crusoe passed us by, exchanging several words with one of us riding a Pocket Rocket. I didn't have a chance to talk to him myself. Now, you don't so often see Bike Fridays in Tokyo, and I thought that I had seen the blue Crusoe somewhere.
Memories recalled, I had seen the bike on this blog, which is linked from the Bike Firday site along with my homepage. Good chance that we have met....yes, probably so. :-)
