Cool Tokyo Guide is available for preorder and reviews are starting to come in! 

“...a delightful and educational excursion through Japan’s capital city and its surrounding areas. ­VERDICT Anyone with even a passing interest in visiting ­Tokyo someday would do well to seek out this title. It contains valuable information for those unfamiliar with the city as well as a few nuggets even the seasoned Japanophile will find useful.” – School Library Journal

* “Fun and quirky but thorough and effective efforts. Cool Tokyo Guide might not look like a traditional guidebook, but for many travelers—actual or armchair—it will become a favorite.” – “Starred Review” Foreword Magazine

This month I’ll be at several events in Tokyo and you can get my new book Cool Tokyo Guide early, as it is already available there. If you’re in Tokyo, please attend and say hello!
