A relay-circulation of LOCAL FOCUS Vol. I at featured shops and special collaborative menus 

At present our publication of LOCAL FOCUS, Vol. I is only available in digital format, however, for our crowdfunding supporters, we have printed a minimal amount in paperback version. 

In relay-style circulation, for a limited period of two weeks each at a selection of cafes and guesthouses featured in the guidebook, we will be placing printed copies of LOCAL FOCUS, Vol. I for readers to enjoy at leisure while sipping on their drinks at the cafes or lounging in the lobbies of guesthouses.

  Mt.Fuji looks clear and beautiful in winter time, so please visit Kamakura & Enoshima and stop by those stores to take a look at the printed

  copy of LOCAL FOCUS, or it would be even better if you could stay at those guesthouses to enjoy the clear view of Mt.Fuji in the crisp

  morning sky or sunset time.

 

  Winter is definitely the recommend time to visit Kamakura and Enoshima for the people who prefer quiet, less crowded and peaceful

  environment which is more Zen-like atmosphere.
