After 25+ years in Japan, my best travel memories aren’t from anywhere along the beaten path.
Listening to the owner of a soba restaurant in rural Tokushima sing as you dine. Planting coral seeds in the Okinawan sea with guides who became friends. Wearing a genderless wedding kimono in a small Buddhist temple inn in Yamanashi. Discovering how the distant memory of a tempura dish shaped a long-running confectionery in central Tokyo.
These are the kinds of stories you’ll find in “70 Remarkable Japanese Places,” the first print publication from the Japan Travel Awards, a travel award that showcases unique destinations and the people shaping more sustainable and inclusive communities across Japan.
The book is the result of three years of travel, bringing together 70 destinations across the country, each presented in its own color and design (because no two places are ever the same), across 200 pages and in two languages—English and Japanese. It also features three themed sections and a dedicated page to customize it, capture your memories, and share it with someone special.
Beyond a conventional guidebook, this hardcover is a collection of places with stories worth knowing.

Hi Ally, I just ordered your book. I'm looking for books written in Japanese to provide vocabulary lists for in English. Since your book is bilingual, it might be a good candidate.
