Depressed, unemployed and overweight, Australian journalist Lisa sets out to walk the henro michi, or 88 temple pilgrimage, through the mountains of Japan. This book is the fascinating story of her pilgrimage, what she sees who she meets and how she feels. She starts off #BigInJapan but finishes the journey a lot lighter 😂 (sorry). #WanderingJune. 👇

CarolynM The mother in me was very worried about her nutrition. She lived on a diet of rice, miso, canned coffee and the occasional cucumber. I can't help thinking some of the mood swings she experienced were at least partially attributable to her diet! 5y
BarbaraBB 👆 No wonder she got lighter 😉. Did you like the book? 5y
Cinfhen Ha!!! Hilarious 😂 I‘m actually curious about this book 5y
CarolynM @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I did like it, there was a lot of interesting stuff about Japan and Japanese culture, but some of it was a bit self indulgent. 5y
