A beautiful and fascinating book! If you are only looking beautiful landscapes of Japan that is not what this book to take. By cons, it is ideal for exploring "Japan forgot" where one sees cities / villages, houses, islands and other pleasant places to look through the pictures of very good quality, there is also the "stories" of these places ... surprising.
I went 2 times in Japan and the book fascinated me because with the high population density in big cities and the small size of this country, I had no idea there were so many abandoned places.
Bonus: you can have fun to recognize some film shooting locations (for Inception + known) haha.
