The problem with most cultural guide books, especially those about Japan, is that they are written from a foreigner's perspective. So how can you know what they say is truly accurate? We are 1 foreign English teacher, 2 Japanese teachers of English and 200 second grade high school students from Japan and we made this book to introduce Japan's amazing culture to the world. Real students tell you about their favorite things in Japan in their own words. Don't worry, it's all in English. In this book you will find reviews and articles on everything from kimono and folding fans to cyber-hacking anime and visual kei music; from the oldest folk tale to the most recent video game. Our students tell you what is really hot in Japan right now. And the best part is that all profits go to help schools and local victims of the great earthquake of March 11th, 2011.
