The Road to Sata and I second the Will Ferguson book.
Roads to Sata - Story of Alan Booth's 2000 mile walk from the northern tip of Japan to the southern tip during the 1970s. One of my favorite books.
Hitching Rides With Buddha - Similar story of Will Ferguson's journey hitchhiking from the Southern tip to the Northern tip of Japan.
Alan Booth made a similar observation back in the 80s in The Roads to Sata: A 2,000-Mile Walk Through Japan, finding all manner of rubbish washed up on Japan's western shore.
Shame about the litter, but cool photo all the same.
Best wishes :)
While it may have been written in 1985, I would say that The Roads to Sata: A 2000-mile Walk Through Japan by the late Alan Booth (also a compatriot of yours) would be a must-read before coming to Japan as you are - for an extended visit. Reading it may inspire you to look up some of the obscure places that he visited - although not necessarily all on foot as he did. Another of Booth's works published posthumously "Looking for the Lost" is also worth a read (not to be confused with Alex Kerr's Lost Japan - which is also decent although I think Kerr's book could benefit from a stronger editor when he delves too much into his pronounced artsy-fartsy fetishes)
