This authoritative Sunset Travel Book presents a vivid and comprehensive portrait of Japan, guiding readers through its diverse regions, from the imperial grandeur of Kyoto and the bustling urban energy of Tokyo, to the serene landscapes of Hokkaido and the subtropical islands of Okinawa. It details essential travel logistics, cultural customs, and must-see attractions, making it an indispensable companion for anyone planning a journey to this extraordinary archipelago. With rich photography and expertly curated regional guides, it captures the soul of a country that is at once deeply rooted in its past and boldly oriented toward the future.
