Experiences

There is an interesting discussion about hitchhiking in Japan on the CS hitchhiking forum. I have hitch-hiked Japan extensively, about 3 months in the mid '90s and I have never in my global travels found a place where it was easier to hitch-hike.

I also found Japan easy to hitchhike in (despite being middle-aged, scruffy, and bearded). I hitchhiked for three and a half weeks at the end of spring and I'm hitchhiking there again now. (Got to the Kobe/Osaka area from Fukuoka a few hours ago) But easy as it is I had an even easier time in some other countries I've hitchhiked in over the past five or six months: Korea, Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia. In Japan I sometimes have to wait two or three hours for a ride but can often get a ride after dark or even after midnight. In Korea as long as I had the right sign I always got a ride within five or ten minutes though I never got a ride after dark. In both Turkey and Georgia I was taken home by families at or after dark, and in Armenia I never even had a chance to make a sign after the first one I used to get out of the capital. I hope that provides a bit of perspective. — Hippietrail 10:26, 7 October 2010 (CEST)
