Introducing NOTEBOOK, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo
Welcome to NOTEBOOK; a quick guide to art, culture, and tourism in Tokyo. Everyday around this time from Monday to Friday we will bring news and views from around Japan. It will be a list of personal interests, everything from music, to art, to books and the wider culture at play. And as the prospect of travel draws ever closer, we’ll also note changes at the border, at the airport, at the hotel, and at home, as and when they happen.
