offers fans of FX’s new miniseries Shogun a number of walking trips, where whispers of samurai and shoguns and the rise and fall of empires echo along Japan’s ancient paths. Each of Walk Japan’s itineraries are journeys rich with culture and steeped in history, some of which are represented in Shogun.

Based on the 1975 novel, Shogun is a fictionalized recounting of feudal Japan during the 17th century. The story centers around Lord Yoshii Toranaga, a daimyo (feudal lord) fighting for survival, and John Blackthorne, a shipwrecked English sailor.
