    I like moto touring, I've visited many place in Japan with my XJ. I wanna visit over sea place, but that's takes many costs...It is Sakhalin that I can visit at a relatively inexpensive price, so I would like to visit if I have the opportunity.

    I post some pictures of my touring.

    This is a huge Namahage in Akita pref.
    Namahage is a traditional event in Akita, a priest to pray for disease-free. This is a big doll of it.

    Here is Oirase stream in Aomori pref. I can run on the immediate side of a very beautiful river. Autumn leaves are beautiful in autumn.

    Naghisa drive way in Ishikawa pref. This is a sandy beach, but it is a national highway. Unbelievable, because the grain of sand is fine, even if the car runs it will not sink.

    Mt. Izumigatake, my home place. My friend visited me by Nissan Skyline (1979).

    Naitai in Hokkaido. Hokkaido is the place that can see majestic view in Japan.　Because there are many mountains in Japan, there are few straight roads. Hokkaido is a popular place for riders to see the landscape like the continent.

    Oh my, 79 Skyline, Hokkaido mountain roads, you are reminding me of many hours spent playing video games. Gran turismo is the best! Once again, thank you!
    Any more pics of the Skyline? I dream of r34, never available here!

    Beautiful pics! Those "big dolls" are freaky looking, would definitely get my eyes off road for a sec.

    I also like Gran Turismo. Unfortunately there are no photos of R34 or any other skyline. Recently in Japan it is less visible to see the skyline before R34.　I especially like before the 79 skyline (aka Japan, Kenmeri, Hakosuka).

    I also want to see other countries photo (Motorcycles, View, Townscape etc.). If you have any nice photo, please post here.
