Synopsis from Amazon:
"It had never been done before. Not in 2,000 years of Japanese recorded history had anyone followed the Cherry Blossom Front from one end of the country to the other. Nor had anyone hitchhiked the length of Japan. But, heady on sakura and sake, Will Ferguson bet he could do both. The resulting travelogue is one of the funniest and most illuminating books ever written about Japan. And, as Ferguson learns, it illustrates that to travel is better than to arrive."

Very interesting! I like Ferguson's style, his humour and warmth - but also sarcasm and wittiness. The journey through Japan was pretty long, and so was the book, but it was easy to read, and I got lot of information about japanese culture, habits and history.
