I made a work trip to Asia recently to work out some production issues and source materials. This was my 4th trip like this in the last few years and each time I, or we, go, we try to squeeze in a little of non-work fun since we already traveled that far. On this trip I decided to visit friends in Tokyo, one of my favorite cities. If the visit needed any further justification, I also had some sales research and a meeting in Tokyo. And, since I was there, why not work in my favorite way to explore… a motorcycle trip.
The whole Japan segment of the trip was great. It was a nice contrast to the exhausting factory visits in Hong Kong and China.
It's nice to have friends in Tokyo to find the good little restaurants.
It was pretty easy to find a motorcycle rental in Japan, although it seems that I found the ONLY rental place that caters to geijin(foreigners) like myself. Fortunately, they had a bike available and they were great to deal with.
