🗺 My route across Japan, from south-west to north-east

I often referred to the subject of this diary as walking the length of Japan, even though Japan doesn’t have a length. Unlike my hair, which now does: in the 131 days it took me to walk 4,300 kilometers from my friend Sahar Ghavidel Darestani’s house in Kagoshima to the platform of Nemuro Station in Hokkaido, it grew seven centimeters.
