A Collection of Today's Finest Establishments, Personally Endorsed

Regarding this mook, "Bessatsu Discover Japan: Kurashi no Senmonten," author Yuu Yamada commented, "When I work on a shop, I always consider not only its place within Japan but also how it is perceived globally. This is how I approach store development and product selection. For "Bessatsu Discover Japan: Kurashi no Senmonten," I aimed to choose shops that would offer a delightful Tokyo experience to someone visiting for the first time, perhaps from anywhere in the world, as they journey through the city."

I imagine many of you live in Tokyo or have visited many times, but I hope this book inspires you to rediscover Tokyo with fresh eyes. And for those visiting Tokyo for the first time, whether from Japan or abroad, I would be overjoyed if you used this book as your guide."


"Bessatsu Discover Japan: Kurashi no Senmonten" features 240 shops in Tokyo, personally selected by Yuu Yamada, who has long navigated the worlds of products, shops, and manufacturers as a discerning eye for quality. This guide explores the diverse charm of Tokyo, a city where culture and scenery shift dramatically from one neighborhood to another, even within the same metropolis. It covers 11 areas, from Asakusa in the east to Kichijoji in the west, showcasing the city's multifaceted appeal.




We hope you will visit Tokyo's shops with a spirit of "travel," carrying this book designed with the concept of "exploring."
