How did the production team select the places?

Our production team strongly places value on the nature, culture, and community of the area, and Local Focus is a careful compilation that presents Kamakura and Enoshima as the backdrop for daily living, featuring shops that are part of the everyday life of the production team, or introducing the must-sees, -dos, and -eats, where they take their guests from overseas, or recommend to traveling friends.

Production Team (arigatoubooks)

Local Focus is created by a team of local freelance editors, writers, photographers and designers who love nature, culture, and community of the area we live, and made up of both local Japanese and non-Japanese members; to create this guidebook, our non-Japanese speaking members identified what was necessary to assist foreign travelers who can't speak the language, while our Japanese members compiled their insider information. This was then compiled into a graphically pleasing and user-friendly practical guidebook that will enable any visitor to have an authentically rich travel experience without the need to learn Japanese or have any local contacts.

We avoided any kind of sponsorship from the featured sites so that we could introduce them with a fully unbiased approach and perspective.
