I'm looking to buy a bike for touring which I can load up with a tent, sleeping bag, clothing etc. Are there any shops in Tokyo that stock touring bikes?

I have a Japanese license and ETC card.

Would be kinda cool to watch, not sure if/when any such event open to the public is announced. Don't know if I can wait til 2027 for it's first commercial runs :)

I have a friend coming to town, want to take him somewhere memorable :)

I can see there is a website for it, would love to hear if anyone has given this a go...

Japan vs USA, 8am Japan time

Here's a favourite I found - Inagaki near Sky Tree. Seems popular amongst locals, and the food was delicious.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Also, do I need a special license to take it to the UK perhaps? Would love to buy one as a present for my dad who is interested in martial arts and that side of Japanese history.

I've seen in izakayas and restaurants, but not in supermarkets or konbinis. I'd like to buy for my friend as a present.

Is it better to exchange at the airport, or in the city? Or in the city (Osaka/ Kyoto)?

Isn't it like a specific day or week, maybe same day that companies/schools do/allow uniform change for summer wear? I'm guessing just before then is a good time to buy stuff in sales :)

I watched a Celtic Rangers match one time in Osaka at an Irish bar. I'm wondering if any sports bars too show Scottish soccer matches.

Looking for reasonably priced campsites around Mount Fuji, preferable with nice views, lake side would be nice too. I found a couple on hatinosu.net but not sure from the map which are best.
