Papersky’s Tour de Nippon project is about finding the magic of Japan’s rural districts, their inhabitants, nature, culture and food. We travel to various prefectures and ride bicycles. Traveling via bicycle allows us a clean and healthy way to explore Japan’s rural areas.

If one were to draw a belly button onto a map of Kyushu the approximate spot would be somewhere between the two small towns of Kosa and Uki. Kosa is filled with farm lands, fresh streams, and many small makers while Uki is a gateway to the sea and a heaven for fruit lovers as everything from grapes to tangerines grow ripe. In both towns we are fortunate to encounter connected communities that are surely the envy of rural towns throughout Japan. Both towns are working hard to create new histories while carrying on their heritage.
