The bilingual labels make it so easy to navigate the city while geeking out over brutalist gems—I flipped between English and Japanese sections constantly. The intro by Naomi Pollock adds real context, and the two-sided layout means I never had to fumble with folding it mid-walk.

The photo of the Tange lab building looks exactly like I remember it. I’m learning so much from the bilingual captions as I plan my next trip. This is a really thoughtful guide for architecture fans.
