A Year in Japan by Kate Williamson
I'll admit that I've never had a burning desire to visit Japan.It requires a very long flight and I don't speak the language. But after reading the charming A Year in Japan by Kate Williamson, I may have to rethink that stance.
Set up sort of like a travel diary--with beautiful illustrations--the book features highlights from Williamson's year in Kyoto on a graduate fellowship. Along the way, she inserts interesting little tidbits about Japanese culture, food, flowers and the like.
You can read through the whole thing in an hour or two but it's worth searching out this book for the illustrations alone.
