Mountaineering and Exploration in the Japanese Alps

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Upon these considerations, however, fascinating as they are, it is beside my purpose to dwell in this book. I have, on the contrary, confined myself to an attempt to give a record of four years' holiday wanderings in the high mountain regions of Central Japan, and the main grounds on which I have ventured to describe my travels in detail are that they have taken me off the beaten tracks into.
