Customer Reviews
Beautiful collection of unique cafes
Beautiful and informative guide for finding that perfect coffee break spot during your exploration of Tokyo. All of the cafes have been chosen with great care, and the description is accompanied by beautiful photos. Writer has found an interesting range of locations, varying from traditionally Japanese to the kind of out-of-the-ordinary that you will only find in Japan.
Tokyo can be overwhelming with its million things to see, and you probably won’t stumble upon these cafes by accident (I didn’t). A useful addition is the route guide at the end that suggests little tours of cafes around certain themes or areas.
I will definitely take this guide with me on my next trip to Tokyo!
A stunning guide on where to go next time I visit Tokyo
First of all, the book looks absolutely stunning! I could just feel the vibe of each depicted café right through the screen. The descriptions of the cafés are clear and comprehensive. I love the small highlights that the writer has pulled from every establishment. Information on Tokyo’s café etiquette, the nearest stations and categories for every type of café lover makes this compilation easy to approach and definitely useful for anyone. It’s clear the writer has taken the time, effort and pleasure to experience all of these places in earnest – just as I want to after having finished the book!
Beautifully done, really informative
A quick read full of info, this book is filled with beautiful photos and thought-out design. The cafes are grouped in fun and useful themes, and there’s even instructions for different cafe tours at the end! Nicely done and makes me want to travel to Tokyo now...
