What readers are saying

“Japan Out There: Kansai Edition” stands out by focusing on hidden gems, avoiding crowded spots. Unlike traditional guides, it offers practical tips for unique experiences beyond the usual suggestions, making it ideal for adventurous travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures in the Kansai region. Andrew has great advice within his YouTube channel and he again delivers information that is practical, helpful and tested.

This book is full of tips, fun facts and useful information outside of the box. Having lived in Japan myself, I still found some new information that I didn’t know about. If you want a unique adventure outside of the crowded tourist traps, look no further.
Brenda S.
My favorite Japan travel destinations are in the Kansai region and Andrew’s knowledge of the vast regions opened me up to travel more destinations that he has recommended that I never knew existed. I’m sure to visit his list of places to see on my next trip to Japan.
Scott K.
The book is quite colourful, with up to date information and many excellent pictures of the author’s recommendations…with individual Google Map Pins, accessibility details and links to their websites. The reasons for these choices are within the book, well worth a read.

I highly recommend this eBook to Japan tourists who have already done the Golden Route and all the usual tourists attractions and are looking for memorable ‘Off the Beaten Path’ experiences. I look forward to Andrew’s coverage of the other regions.

Why Trust Me?



I’m Andrew, the author of this book, and creator of the YouTube channel, Japan Unravelled. I’ve lived in Japan for over 10 years, and have toured the country extensively.

In 2016 I completed the challenge of visiting all 47 prefectures, and since then I’ve racked up multiple visits to all of them. I’m always on the lookout for destinations overlooked by the tourist hordes, and utterly underrated by everyone. Travelling across Japan so much has given me the ability to sort the wheat from the chaff, and tell you which places are truly worth visiting.

I specialise in selecting unexpected, astonishing destinations, and this is the first time I’ve gathered all my picks in one place. Get Japan Out There: Kansai Edition, and start exploring the absolute best that the region has to offer!
