Additional Reviews:

"A chef-d'ouevre of graphic art." — Cafes Geographiques blog

"For anyone who has enjoyed a trip to Japan or is just planning a trip for 'someday,' this book is a wonderful peek into different neighborhoods and details of daily life in Japan." — Toko Dots blog

"The book is a very entertaining labour of love, an endearing insight into every day tokyoite life." — Little Aesthete blog

"This book is an illustrated tour of Tokyo and it won the Ptolemy Prize at the 2009 International Festival of Geography. This whole book is filled with fun illustration and no text! It's was SO entertaining for me to flip through pages and enjoy the sights of Tokyo." — Just One Cookbook blog

"When this book arrived my daughters studied the most minute details of every single page from cover to cover, unable to put it down for hours. Over the course of a month I would flip through the book revisiting scenes I'd viewed before always finding something I overlooked on the last viewing, the details are truly amazing." — Tokyo By Bike blog

"Florent Chavouet constantly surprises the readers with beautiful hand drawings of streets and buildings coupled with hilarious comments on the looks and styles of the people around him." — Japan Travel blog

"Besides the awesomeness of the maps, most of the book is full of odd findings and experiences that the author found himself in. I find the book to be pure genius and I am very happy that I picked it up without a second thought. It's all the little additions in the book that make it most worthwhile and I think it makes a great addition to any collection of books." — Yonasu.com

"This is a wonderful gem of a book. It's a quirky, graphic 'guidebook' filled with beautifully rendered and detailed doodlings that capture vignettes of the city seen through the eyes of a resident, rather than a tourist." — SimplyFabulicious.com blog

"…hand-drawn maps…provide information about the various neighborhoods in the city — hence; it can prove to be very helpful for your trip planning." — I Am Aileen blog

"Not only are his drawings aces, I absolutely love his little comments about places and people and things. Part of the reason that I really enjoyed this book was because it made me nostalgic for my own first days in Tokyo. I remembered thinking a lot of the same things." — Jamieism blog

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is.

No, Tokyo is not a pretty city. In fact it is decidedly ugly. French artist Florent Chavouet spent 6 months cycling through Tokyo while his girlfriend worked there, spending his days drawing the city and its inhabitants as it is. The result is a shockingly honest and delightfully funny report of this 'most beautiful of ugly cities'. If you want to know what Tokyo is REALLY like, but don't have the opportunity to go there yourself (or your rose-coloured glasses need a tweak from your memories of your stay there), this is the book for you.
Delightful! Even the Japanese people I showed it to couldn't help but smile and admit that this book was more truthful than any tourguide you buy.
