Street Level Japan immerses you in the unique city streets of Japan. Explore hidden alleys, peruse storefronts, and marvel at infrastructure through 200 stunning photographs that perfectly capture the light and mood of Japan’s cities. Each photo is accompanied by a caption that provides background on the location and the inspiration for the photograph. Featured in the Photographize Magazine’s 100 Best in 2023, Harada’s acclaimed images have captured the attention of thousands of followers on social media (@funky_side_of_town). Through a series of photos, Harada guides you through Japan’s most famous cities:Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama and more!
Street Level Japan is packed with impressive visuals that will draw you in with their intricate detail and realistic nuance. Whether you’re an armchair traveler, world traveler, or even a Japanese native, prepare to be wowed by these incredible visual narratives.
Street Level Japan offers a fascinating representation of Japan's major cities with images outside the usual tourist scenic shots. Harada has captured an amazing vibe, through his night shots in particular, and I loved how the images showed the contrast of tradition and modernity, the neon signs alongside Showa-era architecture. The captions were short but offered some insight into the inspiration behind each image, and overall this is a book that will appeal to those interested in Japan as well as those who just enjoy armchair travel. I am giving it 4 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
