BEE Japan is biking through Japan supporting environmental awareness. The team stopped in Toyama on their way down to Okinawa last night for a fundraiser dinner at a local vegetarian restaurant. The food was fabulous, of course. And we got to hear lots of stories about their adventures from Wakkanai, Hokkaido to Toyama (so far). You can read about their adventures on their website: Diary And you can look at pictures too: Photo GalleryThe team isn't stopping at convience stores or major chains. They are trying to buy local fruits and vegetables from farmers. They don't use disposable chopsticks and are encouraging others to stop as well. They don't use disposable plates either. They are trying to encourage the motto: reduce, reuse, recycle!! They are stopping at schools to do presentations, doing beach clean-ups and giving presentations at eikaiwas and local community centers.
I don't have any team pics, only some pics of Toyama's own, Amy! They're on the road again, headed to Kanazawa and then Kyoto where they will meet up with the other half of their group that split and went to Tokyo! Their final destination: Naha, Okinawa!
Gambatte!!!

Had half the crew crash at my place last night.
They were a great bunch - and they washed their dishes in the morning! Thanks!
Too bad for the 5:30 wake-up call...
It's great to know that Amy and the rest of the Bee crew are doing well. Thanks for updating us on their journey!
Ooops...I forgot to leave my name.

aww, thanks for the nice post. the bike looks lots different from those photos. am now in internet cafe for the night in kyoto. spent the first 24 hours of rain. starting when i was sleeping last night outside a toll booth of a freeway exit. i was trying the no tent thing for a while, but tonight is great. thinking this might be like a forrest gump rain thing coming on. all i can think about during the miserable times is sista k's guesthouse being warm and smelling like tasty food....
