What happened in Niihama the last few days? 🛠️👷‍♀️👷

Yum Yum out of the water! Time to get rid of all those barnacles. We even found some oysters. Free seafood, anyone? 😂
Rudder fixed, a few other repairs and upgrades done. No antifouling possible here in Japan, so this is the best we can do!

While Milan was chilling in the sun 🦅, we were busy working. Reattached the genoa and got Yum Yum ready to go explore a new part of Japan! ⛵🇯🇵

Finally back in Japan! 🇯🇵 Yum Yum is still floating ⛵💙 And we’re back in Niihama (Shikoku) to explore the city some more!

① ② What’s the first thing to do after making sure Yum Yum is still doing fine? Of course! A quick stop at the convenience store. Gönn dir 🤤 Mega Café Latte!

③ ④ ⑤ To fight the jet lag, we decided to head straight to one of our favourite places in town: Sushiro, the sushi belt restaurant 🍣🍙 What a treat! 💙 They even had the Japanese version of Vermicelles. The question is… who invented it first? The Swiss or the Japanese? 🤔

⑥ Back on our bikes 🚲, but we’re not quite back to normal yet… Apparently, we’ve forgotten how to behave in Japan and are out here parking like clueless tourists. 😅

北五島 | NORTHERN GOTO ISLANDS 🇯🇵 Japan
11. - 16. June 2026

From the main Goto Island, we sailed farther north to explore some of the archipelago's most remote corners. ⛵

We anchored between fish farms and turquoise sandy beaches, hidden beneath steep green cliffs. Our folding bikes fit perfectly into the dinghy, and after carrying them over the rocky shoreline, we were ready for another day of exploring on two wheels. 🚲

One unexpected highlight on 小值賀島 / Ojika Island? A friendly local drove all the way to our anchorage with his truck and delivered a much-needed cooking gas bottle straight to our anchorage! Fellow sailors in Japan know how difficult it is to get one as a foreigner—he was our hero of the day! 🙌

A gentle breeze then carried us to 野崎島 / Nozaki Island — a place that rarely appears on the typical Japan itinerary. Even more unusual, it's one of Japan's very few uninhabited islands. We wandered through the ruins of an abandoned village, visited the magnificent church built by the Hidden Christians, and shared the island with curious deer... and, unfortunately, a few snakes. 🦌🐍

Our last stop came with an unexpected surprise: Japanese fondue. What would you expect it to taste like? 🍲

五島列島 / GOTO ISLANDS 🇯🇵 Japan
1. - 16. July 2026

To stay safe, we had to keep sailing north and out of the danger zone. Fleeing from Typhoon Jangmi brought us to the Goto Islands—an unexpected detour that turned into one of our favorite stops.

In Goto Town, we made some unexpected connections and new friends. ❤️

Along the way, we discovered beautiful coastal roads, unique giant kites featuring samurai and monsters (a local tradition you won't find in most parts of Japan), delicious local food, and plenty more surprises.

On Naru and Hisaka, our bikes led us to hidden corners of the islands, where Japan's Hidden Christians once secretly practiced their faith and built remote churches.
