Evasion Guide - Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka | Hachette (French)

Written by several long-time residents of the Land of the Rising Sun, the Evasion Japan guide blends personal favorites, carefully selected addresses, confidential neighborhoods, and the discovery of regional crafts. Special attention is paid to cultural specificities, nature experiences, and unique accommodations, allowing you to travel like an insider rather than a tourist.
This guide covers:

• The main cities in the heart of Honshu, the main island: Tokyo the capital, its millennial temples and giant neon lights; Kyoto, a true concentration of Japan, with its ancestral traditions and prestigious sanctuaries; Osaka, the country's 3rd largest city, which recently hosted the World Expo.
• Excursions to discover the must-sees: Yokohama, the country's main port; Kamakura, the cradle of Buddhism; Hakone and Mount Fuji; Nikko and Nara, ancient imperial cities.

You will find in particular:

• Walks to immerse yourself in Japanese nature: climbing Mount Fuji, a bike ride in the countryside near Nara, an escape to the mountainous Hakone region...
• All the activities to enjoy your trip: participating in a tea ceremony, trying the best onsen (natural hot springs), attending a sumo match, going on a special pop culture shopping spree...
