...history sets this trail apart," says Clow. "Many of the historical sites aren't otherwise accessible. The other great thing is that you can swim nearly every day." In its entirety, the moderately strenuous route takes three weeks to follow, but it is split into stages that can be hiked over a weekend or even an afternoon. "There's something for everyone," says Clow.

Koizumi's Yasukuni visits are highly controversial in Japan itself, with public opinion split roughly in half. Yasuo Fukuda, a candidate to succeed Koizumi, has picked up support by publicly criticizing Koizumi's Yasukuni fetish. One of Japan's most influential business associations has called for the erection of a new, non-denominational memorial where the next prime minister can pay his respects instead.
