In 2014 I skateboarded from Hokkaido to Okinawa, following the Japan Sea coast.
There were deer, snakes, a monkey and wild pig. No physical preparation or much planning. I stealth-camped in a tent, stayed in internet cafes and hotels. I found a pornographic, school girl magazine on my first day, made friends, made a Japanese grandmother, slept in a graveyard, hitchhiked back across Okinawa with a man with a rattail, was caught in a typhoon and had period sex.
I was intrigued by the idea of skateboarding from one of Japan to the other and I have to admire the courage of the author in not only attempting the journey, but on completing it. The book was well written, the sentences connected and the editing and grammar were excellent. There were two things that spoiled it for me however. Firstly there was a limited description of places of national interest, and a lot of sleeping in internet cafes and eating at 7Elevens, but worse was the author’s preoccupation with bodily functions that I would prefer not to have read about. That said, this book does give you some insight into Japan and its people and culture. — Lucianda
