Otaku Japan Travel Guide
Transport yourself to the global capital of “cool” with this ultimate guide to Japanese pop culture!
If you are crazy about Japanese manga, anime, video games, cosplay, toys, and idols, then If this book is for you. Whether you're planning a trip to Japan, want to relive a recent trip there, or are just fascinated by Japanese culture, Otaku Japan will guide you to around the key areas of otaku culture.
In this practical travel guide, over 450 iconic shops, restaurants, cafes, clubs, and events are presented in loving detail with precise directions on how to find them. More than 20 maps, websites, and over 400 color photos take you the length and breadth of Japan to all the centers of Otaku culture. One of the key strengths of this book is that, unlike the few similar guides in the past, it doesn’t just focus on Tokyo, but it covers all major regions in Japan, from snowy Hokkaido to sunny Kyushu — and even lesser-known areas like Tohoku, Chugoku, and Shikoku.
Highlights of this book include interviews with game developers and famous Japanese idols, a guide to cosplay and Halloween events in Japan, and the world of self-published comics. There are also features on an anime-themed train, a visit to the Ghibli Museum, and a guide to visiting a game center. Furthermore, there is even a glossary of otaku terms, so you’ll be speaking like a massive geek, sorry, a super-cool Akiba native in no time!
