Japan is a fascinating country. 125 million people in a country only slightly larger than New Zealand, and just as mountainous. We’ve all seen the TV footage – cramped housing, industrial haze and crowded trains – but what about the “real Japan”? Spectacular mountains, twisting rivers; hidden harbours and rugged coastlines. This is the story of my 99 day walk from one end to the other in search of the “real Japan”. 1993 – what a year to do it! The year of the endless rainy season. The year without a summer. The year of earthquakes, tidal waves and typhoons – and sore feet!

Pilgrims, or henro as they are known in Japanese, have been walking clockwise around Shikoku, Japan's fourth largest island, for well over one thousand years. They follow in the footsteps of the great Buddhist saint Kobodaishi, searching for the ever elusive enlightenment that he found there. They visit the 88 sacred temples, and in overcoming the hardships of the journey they become better for it. Or so the theory goes! Nowadays nearly all henro travel in cars, taxis or buses, and physical hardship doesn't come into it! I was a henro in the sweltering summer of 1995 and this book contains the tales of my journey.
