Japan Guide

Moments in Japan is not written as a traditional travel guide per se, but more like a personal journal, an ode to Japan sprinkled with some anecdotes. With a total of 350 pages, it contains all my recommendations to enjoy memorable experiences such as tea ceremonies, ceramic workshops, sumo tournament, but also some delicious restaurants, my favourite secret places, outstanding traditional stays, budget friendly accommodations, incredible onsen locations, beautiful remote destinations, and last but not least some practical advice and cultural etiquettes.
