Japan: A Guidebook to Special Places is a beautifully photographed and annotated guide to destinations and sights in Japan. Released 16th Oct 2020, it's 98 pages and available in paperback format.
This is a really attractive guidebook to travel destinations full of world famous sights and places to visit in Japan. The entries are arranged roughly geographically: northeast of Tokyo, Hokkaido to Honshu, Honshu to western Japan, and Shikoku to Kyushu. Each region is further divided into specific destinations. Each of the entries contains location info with prefecture and nearby cities, directions, URLs (where applicable), features, good-to-know info, and travel planning tips. There are simple maps included with location keys highlighting possible destinations, festivals, and when/where to visit.
The photography is abundant and clear. Especially now that travel is severely limited during the pandemic it's nice to be able to dream and plan about visiting when travel restrictions are lifted. This would make a super selection for library acquisition, home use, or travel planning.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
