Nagasaki Motovlog: Castle & Atomic Bomb Museum | Solo Japan Ride Ep. 19
Japan is made up of 47 prefectures — and I’m riding them all. 🏍️🇯🇵
This is Project 47, my solo motorcycle journey across Japan.
📍Episode #19 begins in Nagasaki Prefecture, where history, nature, and the summer heat all collide. After a short ferry ride, I explore Shimabara’s buried houses from the 1991 Mount Unzen eruption, wander the grounds of Shimabara Castle, and ride through steaming volcanic towns and stunning forest mountain passes. The day ends in Nagasaki City at the Atomic Bomb Museum — a sobering reminder of the past — before pushing onward to camp by a lake in the mountains.

Another good video. Brought back memories as I have been there , though I didn’t get to see the houses covered in Ash. So thank you 🙏🏻
長崎は絶対行くべき県のひとつです。
猛暑日のライディングは危険⚠️よく行ったなー
You weren't wrong about the heat! You looked pretty roasted in a few spots there!
I recently watched a pretty good YouTube Doco on the most dangerous volcanoes in Japan and Mt Unzen has a brutal history.
Looking forward to the next part of this trip
Great video man, but i would instantly die if i ride at that temperature 🥵. I have one small tip that i use in summer in Spain. When it´s very hot i like to take my shirt off, wet it compleately in a bathroom or something and put it back on. It feels really refreshing when you´r back at the bike, and since it is hot outside, your shirt will be dry by the next stop .
