Really informative, short little book that gives a lot of information on stuff you only ever half-knew and never had the vocabulary for - 'gosekku'/'hitohadakan'/'higan' etc.
Only negative is that there are a few examples of the standard Japanese-fetishising-the-Japanese-we-have-seasons-have-you-ever-heard-of-seasons-theyre-very-unique-to-Japan-nowhere-else-on-earth-has-four-seasons style BS but in fairness the genre, topic and authorship make it inevitable.
Si piensas viajar a Japón lean antes este libro. Les aclara muchos detalles de política, cultura, historia, economía, educación, ocio y deportes. Es un compendio de lo que es Japón. Fácil de leer y muy interesante.
A bit outdated, but lots of interesting facts about Japan that are usually never discussed. A great introduction to Japan for first timers interested in digging a little deeper.
