From Shizuoka to Okitsu along the Tokaido Old Road
I always learn something new from your walks. Usually several things. Today it's the concept of "monozukuri" and a type of hotel that seems like a no-nonsense break from the world.
The more you suffer, the better your writing is getting. Excellent stuff, Julian.
Thank you!
Great piece. I knew I had happened upon an essay of real Japan when you mentioned that naff 1980s hair salons. And the boredom of suburbia.
Thanks! The Tokaido had a lot of suburbia, it really began to wear me down after a while!
Thanks for walking the Tokaido and writing about it so we don't have to do it ourselves!
