JAPAN TRAVELER'S COMPANION

A photobook covering 100 of the most important places to travel in Japan today, including 22 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is now available.

Fuji, Naoshima's modern art, Niseko's ski resorts, and the Tohoku region, as well as how to enjoy the unique travel experiences of each area.

In addition to maps of each area, it is packed with useful information for travelers to Japan, such as recommended walking courses!
