Walking the Tōkaidō: A Multidisciplinary Exploration of History and Culture

Using the My Virtual Mission platform, participants will walk (both virtually and the distance in reality) from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto, stopping at ten required (and seven optional) stations to complete readings, view webinars/videos, and respond to discussion prompts. This seminar is appropriate for those who are new to learning about Japan as well as those who have previous knowledge and experience. There is some freedom to progress at your own pace, but you must complete all ten required units by September 1.
