☔ Currently waiting out Japan’s rainy season (梅雨）at LOST Bar in Shibuya, where the drinks are strong and the umbrellas don’t work.
June in Tokyo feels like the city’s gone into stealth mode. No crowds, no queues and no loud streamers riding around on GoKarts. Just the occasional heavy downpour, while you duck under a creaking wooden shrine.
Most tourists avoid Japan in June, and I get it. It’s wet, humid, and your socks never quite dry. But honestly, it’s kind of brilliant. The temples lAbroad in JapanPost · 6 days ago
The ever charming Alex James from Blur swung by LOST today to enjoy a few cups of refreshing Japanese saké, munch on a plate of British mature cheddar cheese and chat about the excellence of British food and drink! 🍶
As a cheese lover and cheesemaker himself, Alex was certainly in good hands now that LOST is the biggest dispensary of British cheese in Japan (sometimes selling up to 30,000 grams per week!😅).
Hope to see him back in Tokyo soon!Abroad in JapanPost · 2 weeks ago
I got dressed like an adult.
Tempted to present Abroad in Japan in formal attire going forward to scare viewers.
✨Been filming a ton of videos in the last few weeks that’ll be dropping in June! Thanks for your patience as always guys, confident it’ll be worth the wait 🙏Abroad in JapanPost · 1 month ago
FOUR DAYS DOWN. $211,000 raised!
Thank you to everyone who’s been following us on the Cyclethon across remote Hokkaido this week. It’s been absurdly tough and Day 5 has just begun: our most challenging day yet through the mountains. Wish us luck.
We stayed in an epic log cabin last night at least (filmed the tour of it on Instagram).Abroad in JapanPost · 2 months ago
CYCLETHON 4 is officially over! 🥳🇯🇵🚴♀️
$1,069,561+ RAISED for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
It was an absurd journey that transcended time, space and seasons. When we kicked off our trip in wintry Hokkaido it was -2°C. We traversed mountain ranges, mist and seas to arrive in Tohoku, with the cherry blossom trees blooming in the height of Spring. And finally today, the epic adventure ended in the early Summer heat of Tokyo.
As a bonus, half way I turned 35 years old (no, not 53😅)Abroad in JapanPost · 2 months ago
Can’t believe the day is finally here when we kick off Cyclethon 4! Today we embark on a 1,500km journey from the most remote corner of Japan in East Hokkaido (where it’s currently like the Arctic) all the way down to Tokyo across two weeks.
I’m tired, I’m frozen.
But above all excited to be kicking off yet again on another adventure.
I’ll be posting daily behind the scenes chaos on Instagram (be sure to follow!) and we’ll be going live on Connor’s twitch in 20 mins! See you there.Abroad in JapanPost · 2 months ago
53 YEARS OLD TODAY! 🎂🎉 Honestly, this is the shocked expression of someone whose never seen so much cheese in Japan 😅
✨Thank you to everyone for all the warm birthday wishes. It was a spectacular day - it started with a painful 65km cycle over a mountain range and ended with Japan’s biggest cheeseboard surrounded by amazing friends.
We’re now 9 days into our Cyclethon and my legs are beyond repair. But thanks to this incredible community, over $467,000 has been raised for the Immune DeficiAbroad in JapanPost · 2 months ago
8 DAYS IN 🇯🇵HOKKAIDO COMPLETED
We’re officially back on the mainland in Aomori! Thanks to everyone who’s joined us raising an insane $388,000 so far.
Cant wait to cycle through Tohoku beneath the cherry blossoms. As I’ve mentioned, I’m not filming this series so I can give my all on stream.
BUT I’ve been posting daily vlogs and behind the scenes chaos over on the Abroad in Japan Instagram! Don’t miss this morning’s ferry tour🍿Abroad in JapanPost · 2 months ago
🇯🇵DAY 1 COMPLETE: 75km, $56,000 Raised! 🥳
Thanks to everyone who joined us on our journey from Japan’s most Eastern point of Nemuro, across the stunning rolling fields of Hokkaido.
The temperature today averaged 6°C and at times it felt like the Frosty the Snowman cycle experience. The cold really knocked the energy out of us towards the end of the day, but the blue skies throughout most of our route were much welcomed and kept our spirits up.

Six months ago, a friend flew halfway across the world to visit me in Tokyo - and then spent his first week fighting his phone.
He’d bought a so-called global eSIM that could barely load Google Maps. The problem? His eSIM was bouncing his data around the world before it limped back to Japan.In a country with some of the fastest internet on Earth, it really wasn’t good enough. So, we started our own.

Every street in the rural town of Wajima tells a story of devastation.
When we began filming our earthquake documentary, the focus was set on Tokyo—unearthing how the city is preparing for the anticipated mega-quake. But what we found on our shoot in the small coastal town of Wajima left us stunned.
In the early hours of 2024, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck, shattering the community's hopes for a fresh start to the new year. By the time we arrived in September, we expected to witness signs of recoverAbroad in JapanPost · 6 months ago
The earthquake documentary is out now finally on Abroad in Japan. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. Honestly, originally we planned for this video to focus on the threat of a megaearthquake in Tokyo.
Then we arrived in Wajima.
We expected the town to have recovered after the January 1st earthquake, but neither myself nor the team were prepared for what we found. It was a real shock and it became the central focus of this project.
A huge thank you to the amazing people of Wajima for taking part - I Abroad in JapanPost · 6 months ago
