Hi, bro, thanks. Though I've been to Japan and will return next month, I have never cycled in Nippon so I can't say which country has more developed cycling infrastructure. What I can say, based on now three tours in the ROK, is that it's a very convenient, safe and accesible place for staying on the official bike paths or striking out on secondary regular roads. In the Deep South, in Jeollanam province, traffic is very sparse and there's a lot of extremely quiet, bucolic even tertiary farming roads. I love them cuz there's hardly anyone there save for farmers farming, zero cyclists and zero tourists.
Typical tertiary farm road. Empty, zero traffic and very chill. The Real Rural Korea.
Sorry, I don't track routes anywhere but in my head. Happy to share what I know and the routes I've covered.
If you are in Japan, there are daily shuttle ferry service between Fukuoka or Osaka to/from Busan.
