From what to do and where to stay to hidden gems and essential eating spots, Tokyo-born Makiko Sano clues you in on the city’s must-see sights and experiences. She brings you the real, authentic Tokyo, beyond the tourist traps and basic sightseeing lists.   The book opens with a Visiting Tokyo chapter where you will find out how to greet locals, deal with currency, dress for the weather, get around the city and use public transport – invaluable local knowledge that you’ll not find in other travel guides. The book then discusses 14 urban hubs, specializing on: Shinjuku, the Electrifying Entertainment District; Shibuya, the Trendsetting Youth Hub; Ginza, the Gleaming Luxury District; Asakusa, the Living Time Capsule; Harajuku, Kawaii Capital and Fashion Playground; Ikebukuro, the Vibrant Entertainment District. Each hub covers Places to Stay, Places to Eat, Places to Visit, Cultural Spots, Hidden Gems and Local Tips.   And because Tokyo isn't just about seeing but doing, there's an Experience Tokyo section, on where to go for hands-on workshops, craftmaking and cooking classes, tea ceremeonies and karaoke.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507700638069,"sku":"9781802473391","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"beauty-of-japan","title":"Beauty of Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn armchair traveller’s journey through fifty of Japan’s most breathtaking landscapes, and the lessons we can glean along the way. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep inside the breathtaking landscapes of Japan – from the \u003cb\u003emoss forest of Saih\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e-ji (Koke-dera)\u003c\/b\u003e to the \u003cb\u003ebamboo groves of Arashiyama,\u003c\/b\u003e to the \u003cb\u003eborrowed scenery of Murin-an\u003c\/b\u003e – and discover the life lessons rooted in each space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by \u003cb\u003eMiki Fujito\u003c\/b\u003e, founder of \u003cb\u003eJapanese Wellness Travel\u003c\/b\u003e and author of \u003ci\u003eSeijaku: The Japanese Secret to Finding Stillness\u003c\/i\u003e, this book pairs each beautiful landscape with a piece of \u003cb\u003eenduring wisdom\u003c\/b\u003e drawn from \u003cb\u003eJapanese philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003ci\u003eBeauty of Japan\u003c\/i\u003e will also be organized in thematic sections, bringing the Japanese wellness lessons front and centre of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending the immersive pleasure of travel writing with reflective lessons to live by, from the art of flexibility (\u003cb\u003eYawaraka\u003c\/b\u003e) to the power of connection (\u003cb\u003eShakkai\u003c\/b\u003e), this full-colour book will invite readers not only to explore \u003cb\u003eJapan’s extraordinary beauty\u003c\/b\u003e but also to pause, reflect and carry its quiet teachings into their own lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith stunning photography and illustrative accents by artist Annie Davidson throughout, this book will transport you to unmissable magical landscapes and show you how to \u003cb\u003eembrace the Japanese way of living\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57680202170741,"sku":"9781807710521","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781807710521.jpg?v=1793052779"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/illustrator-annie-davidson.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
