4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and engaging
This book is quite informative on a wide rang of interesting topics, and would be very useful for anyone planning on visiting or living in Japan. I highly recommend it as a solid introduction to your studies on the country. The English is a bit awkward in some places, but it's not really a problem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good brief intro to Japan but annoyingly poor English
I found this book helpful in offering brief chapters on many aspects of Japanese culture, though it offers very little help with the Japanese language - you need a book devoted to Japanese for that. However, the book is written in surprisingly poor English, with awkward syntax and some outright grammatical errors that should have been eliminated in the editing process...

However, the book is written in surprisingly poor English, with awkward syntax and some outright grammatical errors that should have been eliminated in the editing process. If you're not sensitive to such problems this might be a helpful book for someone planning a trip to Japan and seeking a brief introduction to the land and culture.
