Chris Broad: Journey Across Japan, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the author of the Number one bestselling Abroad in Japan , Journey Across Japan takes us through the 47 unique prefectures of the Land of the Rising Sun

Japan is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with millions flocking there every month to follow the same cookie-cutter itinerary.

But beyond the well-trodden tourist trail lies a country made up of forty-seven unique prefectures. Each one has its own story to tell, shaped by centuries of squabbling lords, impenetrable topography and a fierce local pride.

On his quest to show the world that there's so much more to Japan than Tokyo and Kyoto, Chris Broad has visited all of forty-seven prefectures himself. Now, in Journey Across Japan , he takes us with him on an epic adventure that spans every corner of the country.

A collection of embarrassing stories, practical recommendations and hard-learned lessons, this book show us just how much each region has to offer, whether it's a signature dish, a festival or a mildly terrifying mascot.

From flying a plane over Japan's most active volcano to exploring perfectly preserved Samurai districts, this guide will encourage readers, whether you're a Japan neophyte or a seasoned veteran, to carve out your own story in the Land of the Rising Sun.
