There’s an article in the new Contrast Magazine Travel Issue about Tokyo to Osaka with my photographs and journal entries from the trip.

It will be available in select shops on the West Coast, New York, Hawaii, and Japan. Stay tuned for more information about where to pick up the magazine.

To go along with that trailer we just released, here are some photos I took during our 300+ mile trek!

There were many photographers among the 12 of us, and along with this being my first bicycle tour, it was also my first time doing travel photography. Here’s a list of a few of my most memorable moments: eating as many different flavored rice balls as possible, drinking kirin milk tea every day, intense karaoke sessions, being warmed by my sweat when the sky was raining down on us, having the opportunity to photograph it all, and of course, riding over 300 miles with the crew and making it to Osaka!
