Having a plan is always good...
So what's the plan?
Traveling across Japan from North (Hokkaido) to South (Kyushu ? Okinawa ?) on my bicycle. But without any stress. If there is a mountain in the way, to grab it and hop on a train / bus / rental car and get on. If weather gets bad for a considerable number of days, hop on a train / ferry / plane and continue traveling elsewhere in Japan. Japan is long, so there should always be parts where weather is fine. I hope.
Start in September for about 2 - 3 months, the season with the best weather in Japan (per my experience).

- Attitude: just see what happens. No stress.
- Sport factor: riding a bike is about getting from A to B and to enjoy all the parts in between.
- Bicycle: my beloved Brompton (also my only bicycle).
- Bicycle repair: no idea. If I get stuck, just hope for the next bicycle repairman
- Travel factor: this is about traveling, sightseeing, enjoying the small & big sights of Japan. This is not about achieving distance / elevation / speed on the bike
- Luggage: Trying to keep it minimal. No backpack (hate those), just the Brompton T-bag.
- Accommodation: No camping! Hotel, Minshuku, Airbnb...
