Unbeaten Tracks In Japan is a travelogue written by Isabella L. Bird, a British explorer and writer. The book chronicles her journey through Japan in the late 19th century, during a time when the country was just beginning to open up to the outside world. Bird's travels take her to remote areas of the country that were largely untouched by Western influence, and she provides vivid descriptions of the people, customs, and landscapes she encounters along the way. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different region of Japan, including Hokkaido, the Tohoku region, and the Japanese Alps. Throughout the book, Bird offers insights into Japanese culture and society, as well as her own experiences as a foreign traveler in a largely unfamiliar land. Unbeaten Tracks In Japan is considered a classic of travel literature, and is still widely read and studied today.It is a mistake to arrive at a yadoya after dark. Even if the best rooms are not full it takes fully an hour to get my food and the room ready, and meanwhile I cannot employ my time usefully because of the mosquitoes. There was heavy rain all night, accompanied by the first wind that I have heard since landing; and the fitful creaking of the pines and the drumming from the shrine made me glad to get up at sunrise, or rather at daylight, for there has not been a sunrise since I came, or a sunset either.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
