Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The photos used in this book would easily have taken years to accumulate over the seasons, festivals, and events. This book has been a labour of love for a city where Ben's heart surely lies…Including photographs of both traditional elegance to modern high-tech and the everyday mundane, you'll see Tokyo as it really is: a land of contradictions that meld together into a city of beauty and wonder…Whether you love gorgeous photos of Japanese culture, love being an armchair traveller, or have plans to visit Tokyo in the future (perhaps for the Olympics), then I'm certain you'll love
The Little Book of Tokyo."
-- Castleview Academy"Author and photographer Ben Simmons has lavishly illustrated the book with his glorious photography, capturing much of the essence of the Japanese culture, as well as its people, landmarks, and natural beauty."
--Travel Pulse"Part travel guide, part dreamy immersion, this small-scale book is divided into four parts exploring Tokyo's spirit, traditions, sights and modern offerings. You'll have insider information on shrines, temples, festivals, style, shopping, dining, Kabuki theater and Sumo wrestling at your fingertips."
