For anyone planning a trip to Japan,
we highly recommend the celebrated guide Gateway to Japan, which has just been updated as a digital book!

The old print book was legendary, remaining popular long after the practical info was out of date. Now the long-awaited update has arrived. It’s a voluminous guide with an incredible quantity and quality of cultural and historical information.

This person’s quote speaks for us as well:

Gateway is not simply the best guidebook to Japan – it is the best single guide to any country I’ve ever visited.
