Ok, ok, I made up the name “Emergency Ramen”. What I was meaning to say, was that this was ramen we were only able to get because of the 2nd State of Emergency in Tokyo this January 2021.

As is tradition, I traveled through Tokyo, this time by boat. Because my Tokyo by Train and Tokyo by Bike videos were all day affairs, I wanted to have a longer trip for this video. But as I was working on my it’s-coming-soon-I-promise documentary “Being Japanese”, I didn’t have time to do a bigger trip before winter rolled around. So while this isn’t an epic all day affair, I hope you can still enjoy the ride nonetheless.

In this video, I return to the smallest of Japan’s four main islands, Shikoku, and among many things go kayaking in the crystal clear Niyodo river, hiking in beautiful gorges, visit a famous shrine, and stay in a traditional mountain home.
