Hello, travelers. I published the cat edition of "TOKYO PHOTO LOCATIONS" and you can download it for free until 11:59 pm on May 10 (PDT) . The text is exactly the same as the previous book "Tokyo Photo Locations: Photographer's Guide" but many of the photos were replaces with the ones with cats.

Even if you don't have a Kindle tablet, you can read this on your smartphone or computer using the Kindle app.

There was no Google translation, no apps, no Internet. A...
