Description
A 2000-mile journey across rural Japan is the subject of this thought-provoking account. Alan Booth's trek from Soya in the north to Sata in the south took him along small back roads, allowing him to experience the daily lives of ordinary Japanese people.
Through his travels, Booth encounters a diverse range of characters, including fishermen, soldiers, bar hostesses, and hermits, as well as the people who inhabit the towns and villages he passes through. His observations offer a unique insight into life in off-the-tourist-track Japan.
The book is a witty and engaging account of Booth's journey, vividly revealing the reality of life in rural Japan. It is a fascinating glimpse into a country that rarely appears on the tourist radar.
