Description

Hidden Japan is a captivating guide for curious travellers who want to see Tokyo from a fresh perspective – and then venture beyond the capital into the country’s more secluded corners. Travel writer Chiara Terzuolo, an expert on Japan, leads readers off the well-worn tourist paths and into quiet neighbourhoods and hidden backstreets, where tea houses, quirky vending machines, themed walking tours and intimate evening spots await discovery.

Beautifully illustrated by Justine Wong, the book is organised into five themes: nature, food, history, art and nightlife. Hidden Japan, published by Smith Street, spans 264 pages and is written in English – an ideal companion for those drawn to Japan’s lesser-known yet endlessly fascinating sides.
