Travel Writing

Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson
Will Ferguson had been an English teacher in Japan for several years, when he decided it would be a good idea to follow the Cherry Blossom Front (the gradual blooming of the cherry blossom trees) from the Southernmost tip to the Northernmost tip of Japan, by hitchhiking. This produces some excellent stories. Will Ferguson describes the places he visits and the people he meets and he often includes a little history of each town.
