“For anyone heading to Tokyo soon, I thoroughly recommend this guide to all the best (and chic) places’’

Roshina Jowaheer, Travel Editor

“With neighbourhood guides on eating, shopping and sightseeing, it’s a pretty nifty thing to have in your backpack. There’s even a guide to the city’s (many) best ramen joints for the most devout noodle fans, as well as a round-up of some of the loveliest bath houses to take a dip in.’’

Finally, a travel guide with quality recommendations, beautiful design and eye-catching photography. I picked the book up at my local bookstore – you’re doing something pretty cool! I’m going back to Japan for my second time next Spring and I cannot wait.

I am heading to Japan for the first time this year and have been searching for guides that have ideas that went beyond the traditional tourist guide. I saw your book on Amazon, took a chance, and preordered. I just received it today and I am glad to find that your book was the kind I was looking for! Restaurants, art, flea markets, record shops. Thank you for pulling this together!
