I'm trying to navigate my way to Toyama City and...

and I'm trying to read out questions, AND

If I don't have a mental breakdown in the next 20 minutes,

Hey guys, welcome back to Journey Across Japan: Cycle of Despair.

Today, we're gonna do something a little bit different.

The last few days have been extremely intense on myself,

and my team have been traveling around with me helping me film these videos.

Answering questions you guys have sent in.

Basically, my team are gonna be driving on ahead to Toyama City,

and I'm going to be cycling and answering your questions on the GoPro.

So there's gonna be no slick drone shots and production quality today.

So, let's see what challenge we've got to go on today.

As always, these are challenges that you guys have sent in.

and the challenge today, that's come out is...

Speak only in an American accent for the whole ride.

That's gonna be a...it's gonna be a tough one.

I must admit, between speaking in an American accent,

trying to navigate my way to Toyama City,

and trying to read your questions off my phone.

This could actually be the most dangerous day yet.

What was supposed to be very simple is rapidly turning into a nightmarish challenge.

Shazin Javed says, "What do you think will be the most challenging part of this journey?"

The most difficult part of this journey so far hasn't actually been the cycle.

I've not found cycling 50 kilometers a day too difficult now.

The most difficult part has been trying to make videos every single day of the trip.

I've been up until at least 5am every single morning the last...week now.

So, that has been by far the hardest part.

Gracie Bird says, "Do you have a plan for the zombie apocalypse?"

Either an island or really high mountain,

because I don't think zombies can swim and I don't think zombies can climb mountains.

Tanya says, "How would you describe the cycle in three words?"

Stu says, "You're cycling around areas that are quite remote, or at least off the usual tourist path.

I think overtourism is actually a serious problem in Japan at the moment.

I read just yesterday that the Japanese government is doing some kind of study on overtourism in Kyoto and Osaka.

Certainly, when I go to Kyoto and Osaka these days, it's so fucking busy.

It's hard to feel anything profound when you're staring at a temple,

and all you can hear are iPhone camera shutters going off around, so-

Jonathan says, "What's one goal or something you want to accomplish during this cycle?"

Erm, I want to have the best goddamn travel series across Japan!

I am so fucking ready for lunch right now.

I think I'm...really creeping out these other cyclists.

They're wondering why I'm talking to a...

Fisack says, "What region of Japan are you the most excited to visit for the first time?"

There are two regions on this trip that I'm particularly excited about seeing.

and also the last place on our trip, Kagoshima.

so, I'm really excited about going there and, er,
