Why am I crazy about Japan

Author: Ashutosh V Rawal

Title of the Book

The Author has visited Japan numerous times and the love for the country grew stronger every time he was there and hence, the title is as appropriate as it could have been.




Cover of the book

The cover of this amazing book is appropriate as well. With the Author holding a sword and wearing a Japanese costume clearly shows his love for Japan.

Review of the Book

If I am being honest, then I think I would have passed the book because of my reading slump, still, I somehow picked up this book, went to the terrace for my evening walk and read for two whole hours while listening to music as well.

The Author has described all the short stories in a really funny manner so that his readers understand the little anecdotes from his experiences.

I even liked the cute little pictures; they made each story more interesting to read.

One thing is for sure, even though there is a language barrier between our country and Japan but all these stories made me gain more respect for the people of the country, how humble, trustworthy, and respectful each person is towards their homeland and their people along with foreigners as well.

A big thank you to the Author for writing this beauty.

Recommended to:

I would recommend this book to every reader out there because this is something you really want to read, if you are a traveler, have an interest in traveling abroad, or even want to visit your dreamland through this book. Go for it.
