There is another Japan, one not found on postcards or tour maps.
A Japan of whispered legends, moss-covered temples, forgotten mountain paths, and quiet moments beneath ancient trees.
88 Hidden Spots in Japan is a guide to the country's most mystical, serene, and soul-stirring places. Secret shrines lost in forest mists. Timeless villages where the past lingers in silence. Sacred landscapes shaped by centuries of reverence. And quiet corners where nature and spirit still speak in harmony.
This is not a book about checking off destinations. It is an invitation to slow down, to wander with wonder, and to listen deeply to the hidden rhythms of the land.
Each of the 88 places is a doorway into a quieter world, lovingly chosen for travelers who seek more than sights. For those who long to feel the stillness, the depth, and the magic of hidden Japan.
Step off the path. Let yourself disappear.
And you may just find something unforgettable.
