Chasing the Cherry Blossom: A Spiritual Journey Through Japan: A Cycling Challenge in Search of the : Written by Lowell Sheppard, 2001 Edition, Publisher: Lion Books [Paperback] Paperback – 5 May 2001

This is a decent read for anyone interested in Japanese culture, however, the author does bang on quite a lot about God and even to the point of feeling sorry for his Japanese hosts' 'inferior religion', which was a complete turn off. Beware of thinly veiled bible bashing material.Cycle on, but leave the preaching at home Lowell.

A potentially fascinating experience diluted by religious, self indulgent meandering.

bit too religious for my liking
