Unbeaten Tracks in Japan: An Account of Travels on Horseback in the Interior: Including Visits to the Aborigines of Yezo and the Shrines of Nikk (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781020490125)

In the late 19th century, Isabella Lucy Bird, a well-traveled Englishwoman, journeyed to northern Japan and explored the remote regions of Hokkaido on horseback. This book is her account of that journey, including descriptions of the aboriginal Ainu people and the Shinto shrines of Nikkô and Isé. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a Japan that is now largely lost to history.
