‘Walkabout Japan’ – Third World Country and High-tech Nation

2,000 mi on foot, tent and backpack across the mystic Japan

Most people asked about Japan have the following keywords in mind: Sony, Toyota, Samurai, swords, Sushi, chopsticks. It's quite clear that this is a nation impossible to understand and a country too far away.

that this is a country of volcanic origin with 120 millions inhabitants and with a north-south expansion of 3,200 km,
that last year 90 people were torn to pieces by bears in villages,
that in worst case there can be 450 earthquakes every day,
that most people living within a radius of 30 km outside of cities are not able to read a menu with their own alphabet of 20,000 letters,
that in the mountain villages you will find up to 20 feet snow in winter and that people still cook on an open fire not knowing what heating and water taps are,
how the Japanese adore the cherry blossom although they can profit from such an incredibly splendid nature.

Walking across the ‘Land of the Rising sun’, Detlev Henschel shows us how to survive there.
