This isn't the usual travel guide book that tells you where to go, it's one that Florent Chavouet drew to show you where he went. He's a French guy who's in Japan to accompany his girlfriend because she's working there.
It's a 208-page paperback filled with colour pencil drawn observations on the places he went. There are interesting notes on the people and culture and his many little adventures.
His beautiful colour pencil illustrations give Tokyo a very different look and feel. It's a light-hearted look at Tokyo as a tourist. I don't know if Tokyo is this colourful, but in the book it is.
The hand drawn maps are nicely drawn with icons and places of interest. On some pages, there are collages from things he collect, like cutout of manga panels and the bicycle parking tickets he got for parking in restricted areas.
It's an amusing book to check out.
(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

This is a really lovely book. I saw the French version ('Tokyo Sanpo : Promenades à Tokyo') in a bookshop in Lille, and wanted it immediately. Unfortunately, my French is far from perfect, but when I looked up the title on Amazon, I found this, the English version (apart from the cover, the two books are identical).
The illustrations are beautiful, the maps are stunning, the character studies charming. The accompanying text is interesting and often funny. I found it very inspiring.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves illustration and/or design, and also to anyone who loves Japan.
