Japan

Anybody know anything about unicycling in Japan? I’m going to Tokyo to work for
a year and I’m debating whether to take my unicycle. Other than the fact that I
will probably be counted among the weirder “Gaijin” to enter the country, does
anybody know anything else – laws, popularity, etc? Thanks.

I am a director of the JUA and heavily involved in promoting unicycling here. If
you get in touch with me when you’re here, I’ll be glad to help you with
information etc.
