Japan, on foot by the volcanos

A slow-paced voyage with only a notebook, a pencil, a tent, a «ridiculous» hat and Wilson, the backpack. Nicolas Jolivot went to Japan to discover a new country by crossing the most southern island, Kyushu, on foot. Once there, he was immediately drawn to one of the world’s biggest volcanos. His notebook describes the landscapes, the people he met and the daily lives of those who live on the slopes of these both deadly and bountiful mountains.
