Japan on Foot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Japan on Foot" is the name of a walking project that was undertaken by Etsuko Shimabukuro of Okinawa and Mary King, a British citizen.
The two women spent 16 months walking a zigzag route through Japan. The 7,494-kilometre walk started from Cape Soya, Japan's northernmost point on the island of Hokkaidō and ended on Yonaguni Island, Japan's westernmost point. The women's walk took in Honshū, Shikoku, Kyūshū, Okinawa (including Japan's southermost inhabited island). It was a "roving reporter" walk. Shimabukuro and King wrote various newspaper, magazine/website articles from the road. The book of the walk, Japan on Foot: 7,494 Kilometres to Mu is published by Alexandra Press.
