MINOU BOOKS Discover Travel

Bookstore_Fukuoka

For me, traveling is an entirely personal activity. I have the hope that one day I might encounter another version of myself, someone who has existed in this world since before I was born. I feel that traveling is the time when this hope almost comes true. Perhaps this thrill is what makes traveling so enjoyable.
(The Joy of Travel / Yunoki Samiro)

Things and scenery you see for the first time, the culture of a different land, and the lives of the people.
Touch and feel them, and discover your own senses that arise.
Samiro Yunoki, a dyeing artist who is still active today, describes the encounters he has with the unknown self that come with travel as "the joy of travel."
So how can you discover the joy of traveling like this?
Of course, traveling to different places is one way to do this, but capturing fleeting emotional moments or looking at the city with increased resolution may also be one way to do this.

To ensure you don't overlook small incongruities or small discoveries, we've selected three books that will inspire you to embark on your own unique journey.
