Dream up the ultimate trip to Japan

Japan. It’s on your bucket list, right? And deservedly so. Where else can you ride some of the world’s fastest bullet trains, soak in the hot springs of an active volcano or eat ramen and sushi served by robots? Japan is a country like no other, but with so much to see and do, where do you start?

With Ultimate Japan, of course. Bringing together everything that makes Japan so exciting, this book gives you all the inspiration you need to make your trip the best ever.

Inside you’ll find:
  • 100 must-do experiences, from seeing Tokyo Tower to drinking Japanese sake to celebrating cherry blossom, plus top tips on how to make each experience happen
  • Chapters organized by interest, so whether you're into food or the future, pop culture or pops of spring colour, there's something for you
  • Inspirational itineraries showing you how to make the most of your time, no matter what you’re into
  • Striking full-page photography that celebrates Japan’s top landmarks and experiences
  • Information on the basics, including planning your trip, getting around, and customs and etiquette

This Japan travel book is your ticket to the must-sees and must-dos in the country – all that’s left is to book that trip.
