In 1878, just 12 years after Japan opened it first ports to the world, an adventurous 47-year old woman from the UK set out to explore the interior of Japan. The country was virtually unknown to Westerners, and a woman traveling only with a guide seemed outrageous. Everybody advised her not to, but she went anyway and wrote this unique and vivid journal of what she saw and experienced.

Thanks, Peter. I just visited your shop. Really interesting, too!

That could be me. There are probably not too many other people doing this, if any. I am actually based between Osaka and Kobe, but travel all over Japan.

Thanks for the nice words, Peter. The past two years or so I have been in the process of either redoing my sites or starting up new ones. Old Photos of Japan started last month. Japan Photo Stock started recently, too, but used to be part of iKjeld.com. JAPANESE STREETS got a complete make-over that was completed last August. Postcards of Japan is new, and way behind schedule to launch. I am now working on the make-overs for iKjeld.com and Japan Links, and also have at least two more sites waiting in the wings. It keeps me off the street. ;-)

Love to see the sites. Do you already know when you’ll be moving?

Travelfolio.co.uk is really nice as well. The blue links for RSS at the bottom are virtually impossible for me to read, so you may want to consider a different color.
