Beautiful Japan: A Souvenir

by Leza Lowitz, Narumi Yasuda (Photographer)

Overview

This beautifully photographed Japan travel pictorial features all the most famous sites in Japan along with extensive notes and even maps.

Shop along tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques, stroll in ancient temple grounds, strike a business deal on the thirty-second floor of a chrome-and-glass skyscraper, get swept up in the crowds, or sip sake with newfound friends in a bustling neighborhood pub.

Tokyo—once a maze of rice-paddies and quiet wooded villages called Edo—is now a tableaux of old and new, where wooden houses meet modern skyscrapers on streets with no names. Welcome to the gateway of the twenty-first century.
