Finding the real Japan
My own small town trip

If you love small towns full of romance, or if you're tired of big cities, we recommend a trip to a small town where you can experience the real Japan.
If you enjoy a hot spring in Dogo Onsen, the setting for Spirited Away, a udon pilgrimage in Takamatsu, a place famous for its udon, or a black sand steam bath in Ibusuki, you will soon fall in love with the charm of small Japanese towns.
This book introduces 45 of the most charming small towns, carefully selected by the author based on his travel experience of over ten years.
Before you go on a trip, we introduce you to the food stories of each small city that you must know, as well as tourist attractions, restaurants, and places to experience.
In addition, we provide detailed information on local transportation and travel courses to make your trip more convenient.
