[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

The photos are mostly really nice - the one thing that lowers the rating is the very few locations chosen for the book. Tokyo is an extremely divert and full of interesting places, to just choose some six to illustrate all of Tokyo (even modern style Tokyo) is just too narrow. And that half of them are hotels is bordering on the odd!

A simple Tachen book with pictures of Japanese homes, we can only regret the lack of explanations for each picture.
