Additional Reviews:

"The information was interesting and accurate. I particularly liked how the author did not restrict her tour to the most popular parts of Japan (anime, manga, etc.) although there were those things too. It is a curious, sometimes amusing, sometime confusing, look at various aspects of Japanese culture as seen by an inquisitive outsider." — San Diego Book Review

"This book is definitely a good book for visual-oriented people who want to learn more about Japan, and it's suitable for both kids and adult and definitely a great gift to people who likes Japan." — Jay-Han.com blog

"Betty Reynolds has succeeded in capturing the joy, beauty and customs of Japan, and she has done it with magnificent imagery and a gorgeous script." — Dr. Bob Tobin, author of What Do You Want to Create Today?

A perfect introduction to Japan and Japanese culture, this illustrated culture and travel guide contains loads of original drawings as well as the Japanese script for key words and phrases.

Some people take photos, but artist Betty Reynolds captures memories with her paintbrush and watercolors. Clueless in Tokyo provides an outsider's take on everyday life in Japan's capital city—a place where vending machines talk, toilets can be terrifying, and centuries-old festivals unfold against a backdrop of space-age architecture. During the seven years Reynolds lived in Japan, she filled thirty sketchbooks with everything that caught her eye. Whether it's fashion, food, sport, transport, seasonal rituals, or Japanese pastimes, each vibrant sketch is a delight, and Reynolds' witty hand-lettered captions in both Japanese and English provide an entertaining resource for beginning learners of the Japanese language.

Adult students and travelers alike will find this Japan travel guide to be a charming and insightful addition to their trip.
