It offers a glimpse into a part of Japan that is often overlooked by tourists and provides a valuable record of a bygone era.Toward the middle of the afternoon we reached a part of the coast locally famous or infamous, for the two were one; a stretch of some miles where the mountains made no apology for falling abruptly into the sea. Sheer for several hundred feet, the shore is here unscalable. Nor did it use to be possible to go round by land, for the cliffs are merely the ends of mountain-chains, themselves utterly wild and tractless.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
