About
Take a journey into Japan's vanishing heart-through the words of one of its most eloquent visitors.
In Hidden Japan, acclaimed author and environmentalist Alex Kerr leads us to the country's most secluded and enchanting corners-places where time seems to stand still and traditional culture endures. From thatched-roof villages in misty mountains to volcanic islands few have ever visited, Kerr's lyrical prose is brought to life in this immersive audio experience.
You'll discover:
• The austere beauty of a kaiseki meal made from wild herbs in rural Tottori
• The strange allure of Butoh dance in a snow-covered northern village
• A volcano-within-a-volcano on the remote island of Aogashima
• The quiet resistance of old temples, streets, and homes clinging to a disappearing world
Based on decades of life in Japan, Kerr's reflections offer more than travel writing-they're a moving meditation on culture, memory, and change. Whether you're a lover of Japanese tradition or a traveler at heart, Hidden Japan is an unforgettable journey into the soul of a country few truly see.
