Young girls travelling across strange countries with peculiar situations and characters. Similar humor and structure, based on a series of short stories. Kino has a darker tone.  

Both of them offer an exquisite type of world, and how they interact inside it, with unexpected result of choices for both of them. For Kino is travel, Ginko is mushi. 

Travel is the main theme of both Tabi ni Deyou and Kino no Tabi. 

Relaxing manga/LN about a somewhat masculine girl who likes to travel with a motorcycle. 

Science-fiction with philosophycal undertones, where the MC character travel across the world. 

Both deal with questions such as what defines humanity, why people keep moving forward, how people deal with gruesome reality, and what it means to connect with one another. Both stories are also told through story arcs about the places the characters travel and the people they interact with. Finally, both stories are open-ended thematically; they don't explicitly tell the audience how they should interpret the events of their story arcs. 

Although the setting and plot may be different, these series are still similar in many other aspects - Both have a somber feeling in their respective settings - Both have MCs that travel around the world, listening to people in many different areas - Both have characters with their own unique backstory 

A lone girl travelling with just a non-human but talking companion. While it's mainly a talking motorcycle in Kino's Journey, a talking dog like in Roaming the Apocalypse with my Shiba Inu makes appearance too. 

Chronicles of petite girl on her travels as she meets new people and sees curious places and customs. Both have episodical format. 

Travel is the main them of Kino no Tabi and Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro, with the protagonists visiting different cultures and people in a world not really like our own. Kino and Kuro are tomboy-ish and don't bother correcting people for assuming they're girls. Also, they have an unorthodox traveling partner who tends to be less serious than the main character (a talking motorcycle for Kino and talking bat/bats for Kuro). The stories are episodic with each chapter visiting a different place before being forgotten for the next chapter. 

In both a young girl travels from place to place without ever truly getting involved with the people who live there. 

Light novels with duo of protagonists (technically, if we count Hermes) travelling around the world visiting countries with different customs and interacting with others as we learn the life stories of multiple secondary characters. Both have slower pacing, in a good way. 

Both feature a protagonist that's not the main focus. The protagonist is there to shed light on themes related to society, philosophy, justice, ethics, etc. where auxilary, episodic characters exist to portray certain stereotypes or tropes. Both in Kino no Tabi and Ethics, the main character usually doesn't take a side, but rather raises questions and lets others, as well as the reader, to decide what to think about that. 

Young girl travels around the world and interracts with various people, learning their stories and maybe helping them. Both girsl also scarcely shows emotions, have military experience and can defend themselves without a problem, thought their look might suggest otherwise.
