Very nice book! Practical and cute (Kawaii)! Far more than I expected!

Lovely, thank you!

I already have the Tokyo Shopping Guide and 10 Days in Tokyo Zine and found both really useful. I'm planning another trip to Japan next year so couldn't resist getting this updated Japan zine. Once again its informative, awesome, and fun to read, thank you askingfortrouble! :)

I read it cover to cover and loved it! Not only is it a really interesting read about Marceline's three trips to Japan, it has great tips and advice for how to get around and where to find the most awesome kawaii stuff. There were heaps of places and things that Marceline saw and did that I have never heard of before - and that I have now added to my to-do list for when I finally make it to Japan. (I really super-duper want to go now!)
