About this ebook
The first-hand account of an intrepid woman's exploration of Japan's interior in 1878.
Isabella Bird (1831–1904) is perhaps best described as an explorer. Over the course of her life she traveled from her native Britain across the United States, Australia, Japan, China, several other East Asian countries, India, central Asia, and the Near East. Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is her enthralling journey from Tokyo to the vast, unpopulated north of Hokkaido, where few if any Westerns had been before and written of their journey.
