Tokyo Mindscapes: Where to Go, When to Go, What to See by Misaki Matsui is currently scheduled for release on August 1 2019. Traveling to Tokyo? Be sure to see some of the most iconic sites in Tokyo and nearby cities—from gorgeous skylines and jaw-dropping nature to hidden treasures. With this photo/guidebook, visitors can explore both the cutting-edge and traditional parts of the city like a local. The photographer and author introduces the beauty of the four seasons of Tokyo and surrounding cities that Japanese residents love. The collection showcases more than 100 beautiful images of Tokyo including Senso-ji, Roppongi Hills, Todoriki Valley, Mt. Takao, the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and more.
Tokyo Mindscapes: Where to Go, When to Go, What to See is visually stunning, but so much more. The images are wonderful, and give readers a great feel for the beauty that can be found in Tokyo. The text that describes to location of each offers readers information on the history, architecture, people, and more. None of the text blocks are huge, or overly wordy. They just give enough information to show readers why they would want to see it in person, and when might be the best time to do so. I enjoyed learning about the locations featured even though I have no big travel plans in my future. I love learning about places I have never been, and this book was a enjoyable opportunity to do so with Tokyo.
Tokyo Mindscapes: Where to Go, When to Go, What to See is a wonderful book for those planning a trip, and those that would love to see the sights, but have no plans to do so in person (at least anytime soon).
