Lost In Tokyo (Second Updated Edition) is the updated edition of Lost In's bestselling Tokyo city guide — a compact, sharp-eyed dispatch from the world's largest metropolis that refuses to flatten the city into easy categories.
About This Book
Tokyo resists the logic of most travel guides: it is simultaneously the world's largest metropolis and one of its most neighbourhood-specific cities, where a single block might hold a Michelin-starred yakitori counter, a retro sento, and a shipping container repurposed as an art space. This updated edition of the Lost In Tokyo guide navigates that complexity with a curatorial eye rather than a checklist mentality. Written for visitors who want to move through the city the way its residents do — attentive to craft, culture, and the particular pleasures of a place perpetually reinventing itself — it is an essential pocket companion for design-minded travellers.
