About

Japan Synopsis

Japan packs neon cities, onsen towns and centuries-old shrines into one country - this pocket-sized travel guide condenses it into the days that actually fit your trip.

Marco Polo is the proud map publishing partner for Race Across the World.

Whether it's your first visit or you're back for more, this guide brings Japan's old and new sides within easy reach. Duck down backstreet alleys for a bowl of ramen at a six-seat counter, catch a slow train through rice paddies and mountain villages, and soak in a steaming outdoor bath as snow falls around you.

Lightweight and easy to carry, it's built for long train rides between cities, quiet mornings before the crowds arrive, and evenings under paper lanterns, with a pull-out map so you can navigate with confidence wherever you go.

What You'll Discover:

  • Top Sights and Things to Do - From the temples and gardens of Kyoto and the vibrant districts of Tokyo to Mount Fuji, Hiroshima, and the Japanese Alps, enjoy unforgettable Japan experiences
  • Local Tips & Hidden Gems - Travel beyond the main attractions with insider recommendations for peaceful shrines, local eateries, hidden neighbourhoods, scenic countryside routes, and lesser-known cultural treasures
  • Easy Itineraries & Area Guides - Plan your trip quickly using ready-made routes, neighbourhood highlights, and practical advice that saves time and keeps things stress-free
