An old man took us. It's not a bad place as it's quite but the roads split and most cars don't go eastward along the coast. We ended up taking a short ride to Gotsu after passing many.

We were walking towards the roadside station when we found this spot (a bus station). Nice visibility, easy for cars to stop, at the end of town so you can easily get a ride to Hamada. A nice lady living in Masuda took us all the way to a roadside station near Masuda.

so this is an OK place, as there are 2 places for cars to stop: one quiet parking lot right of the station, and some space if you walk down towards the ENEOS gas station. but there's too much local traffic and we were going to Nagato then Hagi, but this coastal road 191 isn't the fastest route. Need to wait a bit.

7-11, always good for hitchhiking. theres alot of local traffic tho

good place but was somehow unlucky. recommend standing in front of 7-11 and directly asking

Eneos gas station in front of highway enterence. A friendly old man took us to a service station near Kitakyushu.

took around 2 hours. tried to stand at area where cars leave, however was told to stand at the storefront. it was an alright spot, but it would be uncomfortable in the summer as the sun would be facing you for the entire day, not much shade.

first time hitchhiking ever, got a ride real quick in a toyota 86 gt. there was another hitchhiker trying to get to yamaguchi but i got a ride before him as he went to the toilet.

Ni kampadis apud Lawson-vendejo, sed bedaŭrinde ni ne zorgis pri organizi nin anticipe por preni la trajnon. Do ni demandis ulon, kiu estis parkita en Lawson-aŭto, kaj tio estis Serg, afabla ukraino, kiu loĝas en Japanio de 20 jaroj, kaj ni petis lin veturigi nin nur al la fervoja stacio, sed li veturigis nin al la flughaveno. Ni iris al Filipinoj post preskaux 3 minotaj en Japanio.

Was recommended to hitchhike from out the front of the shopping centre by locals. If you stand on the hill people can see you from the traffic lights and pull into the shopping centre carpark to pick you up. Got a lift all the way back to Tokyo after waiting about an hour

Tre bona loko por enira Osaka aux eliri la flughaveno.

Tre malfacla, principe dum la nokto. Homo kiu helpis min ne iris en tia direkto, sed elpis min per la bona koro.

Amikoj iris al Totori sed lasis min tie. Tia benzinostacio estas granda kaj bona.

La lasta veturo en la lasta tago de petveturado de Istanbulo al Soja, direktiĝante al la Ĉielarka Internacia Kunveno de 2025. Daniela kaj mi. Finfine. Mi dormis tute proksime en arbetaro apud la enirado de tia vojo.

Ni domandi tie ĝis la Onson

Mirinda loko. 2 homoj dum nokto kun multaj dorsosakon plus Daniela gxis baajis house.

See hitchwiki; best spot to go out of Fukuoka. Waited 5 minutes at the end with a sign for Kumamoto, and got a car dropping me there. Easily reachable by tram.

All the cars going to the big gas station nearby pass on that road to go back to the highway. There's space to stop but cars tend to go fast. Got picked up by two young surfers going to Fujieda. (Girl alone, with a sign to Shizuoka)

There's a lawson just at the entrance of the highway. Many people going both ways stop there. Had a guy pick me up after buying a few things. (A sign is required)

Girl hitchhiking alone, two lovely women took me to Lake Otsu, they were going straight to Kyoto. Many people passing that station.

The spot was very good. It can be accessed very easily through a passage behind the convenience store and you won't be walking where cars drive. The station has everything, toilets, wifi, electrical plugs for charging your devices, Food etc. I got picked up after one hour waiting time on a Monday. I started at 10am and got a lift at 11am. It took me a total of 4 rides to get to Nagoya station and the drivers were always very respectful and curious why I'm hitchhiking in japan. Tomorrow I'll continue hitchhiking to Osaka and after that to kumamoto, just to see how far I can go. On this trip I never had any worries about unsafe road conditions, people being rude, not having food or a toilet. Everything was available all the time and it was a very good experience.

I waited for 40min at 9h in the morning on a Sunday. Then got ride to Fukuoka (I was heading Osaka). I asked the driver to stop in a car park on the highway. Although is prohibitted is the best place to get a ride. I rode to Osaka from Nagasaki with 4 different cars, wating an average of 20 min from car to car. Hitchhiking in Japan is great!!
