The past few weeks I have covered how travelers in old Japan crossed its many and often furious rivers.

Today I would like to share a beautiful account about traveling through Japan’s mountains by the Englishman Arthur H. Crow.

In 1881 (Meiji 14), accompanied by his friend Ernest and the Japanese rickshaw puller Yoshi, he walked the celebrated Nakasendō Highway which connected Kyoto with Tokyo.

The three selected a terrible time to walk the Nakasendō—June, when the downpours of the rainy season can drench one within seconds.

Crow’s account is wonderfully descriptive, so I have selected a few sections without further comment and added some photographs of the Nakasendō from the same period as their adventure.
