Eki Hunter
Приєднався 15 кві 2022
Hi! I'm the Eki Hunter. I'm an amateur cycling and train station enthusiast.
I live in Tokyo and in 2016 I started cycling around Japan trying to visit every rail station in a project that I call the Eki Hunt. I document my riding with selfies at each station and sometimes videos. As of October 2024, I've visited over 3900 stations in 15 prefectures. I have completed the Tokyo Metropolitan area and am slowly spreading outward from there. I am now working on Phase 5, which is the next line of outlying prefectures: Aichi, Gifu, Toyama, Niigata, and Fukushima.
The videos are mostly me riding around, at or between the rail stations, chatting away. I think the best way to watch is to go to the 'Playlists' section and watch "All Videos" chronologically.
The real documentation of the Eki Hunt is my Google Maps blogs. You can find my map/blogs in the 'links' section which contain a lot more info and commentary. Feel free to follow along.
