I'm going on holiday to Japan later this year (October). I was in Tokyo once, in 2017. This time, going back to Tokyo, but also to Osaka and Kyoto.
Please recommend me novels that are based in Japan (ideally by Japanese writers) that help me get a glimpse of the culture.
Books I already read:
Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden
Geisha of Gion, by Mineko Iwasaki
Norwegian Wood, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, What I talk about when I talk about running, by Haruki Murakami
Kitchen and Amrita, both by Banana Yoshimoto
Before the coffee gets cold, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
