Where to AVOID in Kyushu: Patreon Exclusive Video ⛩️ ALSO. 900km Wacky Weekend Cycle Complete! 🌟 (Patreon)

Well guys, not only did we make it back alive from our 900km cycleathon around Kyushu, but somehow we were able to raise $550,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in - no matter how brief or how long - during our 9 day journey. I realise many of you may have missed it due to work or unfamiliarity with Twitch (I feel like such a boomer using Twitch), but we shot the whole thing for an epic video coming out soon on Abroad in Japan.

This time around honestly made last year's Hokkaido cycle challenge seem like a five star luxury holiday. Kyushu's rugged mountainous terrain, combined with rain so hard it gave Noah's ark a run for its money, led to anything but pleasant conditions, cycling with soggy feet for 9 hours, with Connor falling off twice in one day amidst the conditions.

It wasn't all pain and gloom though, as we were rewarded with some spectacular scenery along the way and some heartwarming strangers with encounters, including a man who ran a karaoke shop and generous viewers appearing along the way to give us chocolate and biscuits.

But if the first cycle was a New Hope, this time around was very much the Empire Strikes Back of blockbuster moments. Plenty to look forward to on this one.

To celebrate surviving the cycle I'll be hosting a live show this Saturday on Chris Abroad where I'll be revealing secrets about our journey and discussing the impending move to Tokyo (more on that next week). It kicks off at 22:00 Japan time! Hope to see you there.

With the cycle out of the way though, it concludes the big three projects of Q1 including Journey Across Japan and the Kyoto bar! Next week I'll be sharing a sneak peek trailers for JAJ: Frozen Frontiers & the Kyoto bar with you guys, as well as releasing a video on Abroad in Japan about dining out in Japan on a budget, which we wrapped shooting today.

Here's a photo of me hard at work on set today, looking like I've taken drugs :S

It was quite the shoot given we went inside over a dozen restaurants in search of bargain priced Japanese dishes, stuffing myself with unimaginable amounts of food for purely educational purposes. But it promises to be a fun video and essential viewing if you plan to visit Japan and don't want to break the bank!

We've also begun work shooting 14 Days in Japan, the ultimate itinerary video, that's quite possibly the most requested video ever. We'll be releasing an extended "21 Days in Japan" version to released exclusively here on Patreon as well to go alongside it.

BEFORE then though guys, here's the Behind the Scenes Patreon video of our recent Kyushu Wacky Weekend Road Trip, from Takachiho Gorge and the abandoned town, to Beppu Hot Springs and that god awful dinosaur hotel.

Outtakes, bloopers, and deleted scenes of a spectacular treehouse lie within!
