Journey Across Japan

From the author of the Number one bestseller Abroad in Japan

GET READY TO EXPLORE JAPAN LIKE NEVER BEFORE…

Beyond its neon-lit megacities lies a nation made up of forty-seven distinct prefectures. Each one has its own story to tell, shaped by centuries of squabbling lords, impenetrable topography and fierce local pride.

On his quest to reveal what lies beyond the beaten paths, Chris Broad takes us through the 47 unique prefectures of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Part travelogue, part practical guide and part catalogue of deeply questionable decisions, Journey Across Japan is a voyage into the endless surprises the country has to offer. From the chaos of a morning market to flying a tiny plane over Japan’s most active volcano, to wandering the shores of subtropical islands, Chris uncovers a side of the country few visitors ever see.

Whether you’re a Japan neophyte or a seasoned veteran, this book will inspire you to carve out your own story.
