Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: planning record, not independently verified geometry.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distances and riding times are planning figures. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Ototojima and peripheral reefs
Let us be honest from the start: you will not ride a motorcycle on Ototojima. This small, uninhabited island lies in the Ogasawara archipelago, about a thousand kilometres south of Tokyo in the western Pacific, and it has no roads, no people and strict rules about who can land. What it does have is a remarkable natural world. The Ogasawara Islands, also known as the Bonin Islands, have never been connected to a continent, and their plants and animals evolved in isolation, producing many species found nowhere else. The archipelago was listed by UNESCO in 2011, and Ototojima is one of its most precious parts.
