The Secret Side of Japan

I used the guide and its recommendations last year, and everything was absolutely perfect. The places we visited were never overcrowded, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. The recommended restaurants, cafés, and shops never disappointed us – quite the opposite! I'm heading back to Japan this year and will definitely be using the guide again. Thank you so much for your valuable advice and the detailed itineraries, Anna! :)

We used these guides for our honeymoon trip and it was the best decision we've made.

I go to Japan often since my family is from there, but this time I really wanted to make it special. Typically I'm the one to plan itineraries but I decided to try out these guides by Empty Japan and I was so glad I did. The trip was so stress-free and we were able to see new hidden gems, and we were the only tourists there yipee!

I was really grateful for the tips on how to get to each destination, food recs (all of the restaurants were so good), and the detail of each guide. If you were going to pick one itinerary for your Japan trip, this is the one.

An outstanding guide for new travellers or seasoned travellers to Japan. I love the variety in the itineraries and it's very refreshing to discover. This guide is packed with tips which are so helpful. From talking situations in restaurants and other places to the different types of ramen, it is filled with info and a great preparation for a lifetime trip or if you've already been to Japan and want to find new places. My favourite Japan guide so far!

Fantastic travel guide to Kansai region! I love all the descriptions of less-known sites, now added to my itinerary. I also really appreciate the recommendations for hotels/places to stay.

This travel guide was a great surprise! There are so many locations I never heard about that look so interesting. I also really appreciate how detailed everything is. I'm excited to prepare my second trip to Japan with this guide and looking forward to seeing new locations of other parts of Japan!

You outdid yourself with this guide, it’s absolutely amazing!! There’s so many places listed and it is incredibly detailed. I don’t know when I’m visiting but, when I do, I will definitely be checking some of these locations out ❤️
