Jitensha: Down the Japanese Archipelago on a Bicycle ReviewI have lived in Japan for years, and also had the experience of biking around the country- a most interesting way to see the country, to be sure. Reading Don's book, I wonder if he was in the same Japan at all. He reveals little of the Japanese soul- just that he experienced friendly smiles from the locals. He caught a few colorful festivals. He ate local foods.
I think the problem is, not really understanding Japanese, it is hard to really get deep into the culture. To learn what lies beneath the polite smiles- that is the essence of travel writing!
Being a Gaijin (and in my case, an African Gaijin) will always draw attention from the locals, especially in the less touristed spots. It is easy to feel like a "movie star". But when you get home, you have to wonder if the experience is really a book-worthy one. I'd have to say in this case, it wasn't.Jitensha: Down the Japanese Archipelago on a Bicycle Overview
