Ever bought a book...and never read it? We feel you.
Whether it's books, music, podcasts or your Netflix watchlist, TSUNDOKU - originally a combination of the words for 'to pile up' and 'reading' - is a word used to describe the joy of an overwhelming (and unsustainable) interest in something.
With the world as it is, we might have to add travel plans to our TSUNDOKU list...
...and then go ahead and add a little more!
This month we asked our friends in Japan for their recommended reads to move to the top of the reading pile when thinking about the adventure of a lifetime in Japan.
Here are a couple of things we learnt along the way:
1) Nagano's Horakuan Temple retreat is waiting for you to come and find your zen 🧘
2) Kamishichiken and its ambient lanes make up Kyoto's oldest geisha district 👘
3) You won't easily forget a rowboat trip around the suigo canals of Lake Biwa 🚣♀️
