Reviews
"This guide provided me with a great deal of insight into Japanese culture and society.
The book covers a lot of ground, including key history and current affairs (including how Covid has affected society), important values and common attitudes (really critical info for visitors to Japan; knowing this information will improve the quality of your trip!).
There are also chapters on festivals and traditions, socializing, home life, useful phrases, and more. My favorite chapter was probably the one on food culture and cuisine – there’s so much to discover and enjoy!
Overall, loved the book and consider it very good value for money." Amazon Reader
