A Beginner's Guide to Japan

In 'A Beginner's Guide to Japan', Pico Iyer draws on his years of experience living in Japan to craft a book that provides insightful and provocative observations about Japanese culture.

Iyer recounts his adventures and observations as he travels from various locations, including a meditation hall, a love hotel, West Point, Kyoto Station, and even a dinner with Meryl Streep.

The book is designed to pique the interest and curiosity of those who don’t know Japan and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.
