    Iyer’s guide is both informative and entertaining. He has a real talent for capturing the essence of Japanese culture.

  4. Priyansha Dalmia –

    I struggled to connect with Iyer’s writing style. It felt a bit detached and intellectual. Not for everyone.

  5. Sunil Kumar Budania –

    I wanted to love this book, but it just didn’t click for me. Too much focus on the abstract and not enough on the practical.

  6. Ankit Rawat –

    A good starting point, but I felt like it scratched the surface. I needed something more in-depth. Still, some interesting insights.

  7. Keshav Bedi –

    A wonderful introduction to Japan. Iyer’s writing is engaging, and his observations are both insightful and funny.

  8. Sanchay Jindal –

    I enjoyed Iyer’s writing style. However, I wish there were more practical tips for first-time travelers. More observations than a true guide.

  9. Aadya Pandey –

    Some chapters were fantastic, others were a bit of a slog. A mixed bag, but overall a worthwhile read if you’re patient.

  10. Shantanu Singh –

    Absolutely captivating! Iyer’s prose is beautiful, and his observations are spot-on. I learned so much about Japan!

    This book changed the way I see Japan. Iyer’s insights are profound and thought-provoking. Highly recommend!

  12. Avisek Banerjee –

    Interesting, but I felt like it jumped around too much. A bit disjointed for a beginner’s guide.

  13. Aditya Gupta –

    A unique perspective on Japan! Some essays were brilliant, others a bit too abstract. Overall, a thought-provoking introduction to the culture.

  14. Suvansh Manik –

    Found this book to be a little pretentious at times. While informative, it didn’t quite capture the spirit of Japan for me.

  15. Richa Bhardwaj –

    A beautifully written book that offers a glimpse into the heart of Japan. I especially loved the sections on Japanese art and philosophy.

  16. Aditi Saurav –

    Iyer’s guide is insightful, but sometimes feels a bit too academic for a ‘beginner’s’ book. Still, a worthwhile read if you’re serious about understanding Japan.

  17. Chakrash Chauhan –

    Found this book to be a bit slow-paced. While informative, it didn’t quite hold my attention throughout.
