Amy Chavez has been living in Japan for 25 years and through her new book, Amy's Guide to Best Behavior in Japan, she shares her expertise in Japan's cultural norms and behavioral intricacies. Bowing, shopping, casual outings with friends, bicycling, visiting temples, business meetings... no matter what you're doing in Japan, Amy gives you advice many Japanese will never tell you (because they are so polite, ironically). Even after several years of Japan travel, I've (um, whoops) learned quite a bit. Don't learn the hard way like I did, get this book!
Available on Amazon!

Check out our sister website, Breezy Brigade! They sell innovative camping and outdoor gear that is made in Japan. It's not just for camping though, as I use the Perrine Pack and Max-Pax every day (and the Down T-Shirt in the winter).
