Books/articles to read before going to Japan? Could be fiction (ancient to modern), historical, current events. Something to understand or appreciate aspects of the culture and the land more deeply.

I really enjoyed this book as an easy, light read last year. The sequel’s lovely too. Gives you such a vivid sense of the coffee shop culture in Japan.

“Comfy, light and warm read. It feels like taking a walk with the protagonist through the streets of Tokyo. Helps with me deal with my Sehnsucht of Japan.”
