I am going to Japan for the first time in 2025. I had no idea where to start from, what itinerary to look at, and what to do beyond Tokyo. The book was extremely helpful in understanding the available routes, and elevate them with elements beyond the usual touristic circuit. We’ve started planning with this in mind and already booked some of the hotels recommended – we can’t wait to get there and start exploring!

I’ve been living in Japan for 10 years. I’ve discovered places I’ve never even heard of before, and book a really cool restaurant in Tokyo for me and my husband’s anniversary. Thank you!

It was my boyfriend’s first time in Japan, but not mine. We wanted to find the right balance between must-sees for him, and beautiful off the beaten track sites for me. This guide was so helpful for this! I’ve discovered places I’ve never heard of, such a traditional fisherman village. We ended up visiting it, and my boyfriend had a stunning first time in Japan.

I received Alexandra’s book in preparation for my first trip to Japan this autumn, and it transformed my experience! It guided me to hidden gems and spots that felt truly authentic, far from the touristy areas. It not only enriched my journey, but browsing it became a cherished memory of my adventure. I can’t wait to see it physically printed to display it on my bookshelf.
