This was definitely a fun read but you'll probably get more out of it if you have a trip already planned. If you don't, you're probably going to do some skimming. It can also be a bit repetitive and has some fluff in it but don't let that discourage you. If you're interested in the subject matter then you'll probably enjoy the book.

Interesting but a bit repetitive in places. There was an element of racial stereotyping which could have been handled more sensitively.

By the title, I was expecting a Geeky (anime, videogames, tech) guide to Japan.

It turns out the title means a "Japanese Culture" Geek in Japan.

A very nice book, full of Japanese culture, a great variety of information, and a few travel guide pages in it.

Not too much in terms of actual geekdom or tours though.

Recomendadísimo para todos los amantes de la cultura japonesa. Explica todo tipo de detalles y curiosidades sobre Japón, sus gentes, sus costumbres y su forma de ver el mundo, con un estilo fresco y ameno, y una estupenda selección de fotografías. Como extra, al final viene una guía con consejos prácticos para viajar a Japón. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? :)

A diferencia de 'Un geek en Japón', en 'Momentos' no encontramos tanto explicaciones en texto sobre Japón, sino una visión de Japón y los japoneses a través del objetivo de @kirai. Algunas de las fotos son realmente PRECIOSAS y te vienen ganas de irte a vivir a Japón sólo para ver esos paisajes y recorrer esas calles... pura poesía visual :)
