Winnie Liu dreamed of exploring Japan since she was a child and finally got the chance of a lifetime to study abroad there for a semester.

Armed with pens and sketchbooks, she brings her unique lens as an artist, avid foodie, and anime fan to this charming illustrated travel diary. Guides to both popular and under-the-radar neighborhoods of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are interspersed with fun anecdotes and crash course guides to daily life in Japan. Winnie shares tips for using slang, eating like a local, and maximizing a konbini (convenience store) run!

Filled with cute illustrations, funny commentary, and collages of memorabilia, this delightful travelogue will transport you to Japan!
