Features: The National Geographic Society's travel series presents you with the best text, images, and maps. The book is divided into three parts. The first part outlines history and culture, then introduces various regions of Japan. The author selects and explains attractions with a unique perspective. Each chapter begins with a clear table of contents for easy reference. Finally, it provides readers with practical reference routes for excursions. Each chapter includes a map of the main region, with important attractions clearly marked and other recommended destinations listed. For smaller hiking routes, a separate map is provided, indicating recommended attractions. Additionally, special sections and sidebars are dedicated to providing in-depth details about history, culture, or contemporary life. Finally, the "Travel Information" appendix offers essential practical information for travel, including itinerary planning, transportation, and emergency procedures. It also lists major hotels, restaurants, shopping stores, and entertainment activities in each region of Japan for easy reference.
As of the publication of this book, the information provided for each region and attraction is highly accurate. However, it is still recommended that readers verify the details by phone before traveling.
