Views from Japan: A Meaningful Travel Guide
Worldwide Shipping Available
A brand new travel guidebook encouraging you to explore Japan like a local. Views from Japan is packed with over 260 unique locations & experiences across 20 different Japanese prefectures. In the book I share everything I have learnt after travelling extensively in Japan for the last five years.
Tried & Tested by a Local
I’m Ben, a travel photographer and writer based in Tokyo. I have dedicated the last five years to searching up and down Japan with my camera. I have tried and tested experiences from all corners of the country and built a client list of leading tourism boards, luxury hospitality brands and award-winning global publications.
The World’s #1 Travel Destination
Japan is forecast to welcome a record 35 million visitors throughout 2024. With the rapid rise of social media travel, a record-breaking low Yen, and more information available online than ever before, so many blogs, articles and influencers are promoting the same over-crowded hotspots, with little thought into finding new locations or providing useful information.
Discover Japan, Minus the Crowds.
Are you tired of seeing the same over-crowded areas, Insta-famous hotspots and cookie cutter itineraries? Views from Japan offers a more meaningful experience. One that inspires you to travel to lesser-known areas, whether that is a remote architectural destination, an under-the-radar neighbourhood or a beautifully designed countryside hotel.
Unique Destinations. Timeless Japan.
In Views from Japan, I share everything I know so you can have a truly authentic experience for your next trip. Included are highlights from over 20 prefectures, from the northern mountains of Hokkaido to the tropical islands of Okinawa, the hidden temples of Kyoto to the unique architecture of Tokyo, and many more!
Passionate About Print
In an increasingly digital world, I am passionate about creating something tangible that you can refer back to whenever you wish. Every step of the production and design process has been considered to ensure maximum quality. Views from Japan is proudly printed in Italy on forestry-approved Fedrigoni Papers. Originally launching on Kickstarter in December 2023, Views from Japan was successfully funded in just 12 hours, going on to reach over 850% of the original funding goal.
