Cool Japan Guide: Fun in the Land of Manga, Lucky Cats and Ramen

This graphic Japan travel guide is the first of its kind exploring Japanese culture from a cartoonists perspective. Cool Japan Guide takes you on a fun tour from the high-energy urban streets of Tokyo to the peaceful Zen gardens and Shinto shrines of Kyoto and introduces you to:

• the exciting world of Japanese food--from bento to sushi and everything in between.
• the otaku (geek) culture of Japan, including a manga market in Tokyo where artists display and sell their original artwork.
• the complete Japanese shopping experience, from combini (not your run-of-the-mill convenience stores ) to depato (department stores with everything).
• the worlds biggest manga, anime and cosplay festivals.
• lots of other exciting places to go and things to do--like zen gardens, traditional Japanese arts, and a ride on a Japanese bullet train.
