Book Review Japan: 6,000 Miles on a Bicycle Jitensha

自転車の書評

Japan: 6,000 Miles on a Bicycle Jitensha

This is a journey through the rural messiness, places of tremendous beauty, and concrete jungles of Japan.

Poet Leigh Norrie rode Japan for six months and 10,000 kilometers. He pedaled through every prefecture.

The book is a travelogue that documents the trials and daily banality, and the many (mostly kind) people he meets along the way.

A good read with many interesting vignettes on Japanese life.
