Reviews

"""Skillfully combining history, culture, food, society, literature, and old-fashioned observation, Dougill educates as well as entertains, soothing the restless spirit of the traveler who is determined to visit every place they read or hear about."" —Rebecca Otowa, author of At Home in Japan ""Dougill takes delight in every aspect of Japan, from the fish and pickles he has for dinner, to a weird conversation with a stranger that takes a surprise turn. I know of no Japan journey that is so full of joy as this one."" —Alex Kerr, author of Lost Japan and Another Kyoto ""Erudite and deftly constructed, Dougill offers an original point of view and a sense of literary composition yoked with a deep knowledge of the country and culture."" —Stephen Mansfield, author of Tokyo: A Biography"
