"WADACHI" mean tracks (prints of tire) in Japanese. I think it is the best word representing travelogues of bicycle touring in Japan.

I opened this web site as a commemoration for 10 years of bicycle touring over 46 prefecture(all prefectures except Okinawa) in Japan.
I have made film photo albums for each touring and named them "WADACHI No.**" (See What are ?). So this site is really "e-WADACHI".

I enjoy not only cycling, but town watching and drinking. So I want to introduce not only cycling itself or sightseeing place, but shopping street, bar and many trivias in the area I visited by bicycle. I am not so good at English, so please excuse my errors in English. (If you find them (maybe they are many) , please correct me.)
More (travelogues) will be uploaded, hopefully one in a every month.
