i have always been interested in Japan, probablt started with me watching fist of the north start about 10 years ago and then grew into manga and anime, although I don't really watch or read those any more. I enjoyfilms like Zatoichi & I have been to rock in japan 2007 which i would love to do again.

I hear that mountain biking in Japan has some very good places and it is something I do everyweek in England & Wales
