Description

[Machine Translation] Today, Japan is filled with a vast number of place names. Each one of them has a history and a story associated with the land. They represent the feelings of our predecessors and our ancestors. This book takes up some of the most characteristic place names and travels around Japan, inquiring about the origins of the names. Even places with "interesting place names" and "difficult-to-read place names" have place names based on traditions passed down from mouth to mouth by the Japanese people. To know place names is to know Japan.
