I'll keep an eye out for it.

It's funny your review is still sitting up there. I didn't even know Amazon existed back then. Well done on them for not periodically deleting old commentary, I suppose.

Do you have any favorite hikes/regions in Japan to recommend? I've only done the odd day-hike here and there, mostly in Shikoku. I would love to compare the volcanoes of Japan with those of Indonesia.

Sure I do.
The main hike passing several crater lakes and volcanoes in Kirishima-Yaku NP on Kyushu, adding climbing the highest peak there.
It was a day hike but very scenic.

All right, well I am definitely getting to Kyushu one of these days! I think I could probably drive there in only one day.

By the way, I finally saw a raccoon dog. I hit him with my car... :-(

You have your own car in Japan?
Living well, it sounds.

Yes, I have a car, albeit a very cheap one. I live in a small town with poor public transport connections.
Life here isn't bad, but I don't get to travel as much as I used to! Mostly just 2-3 days trips at the weekends.

I think you can book a hotel in booking , Agoda, or Ctrip in prior to your arrival. Remember double check with the on-line staff whether the hotel accept foreigners, it is very convenient. Just take care of your Passport, and don't go to some places few people, just for your safety.
