![]() ![]() ![]() Even with plenty of scenes taking place in Kanagawa, Sapporo and Hawaii, the unnamed narrator still has time to make it to some of Tokyo’s best sightseeing destinations. ![]() Interestingly, most of the specific touristy spots which do appear in Murakami’s novels happen to be from a single book: Dance, Dance, Dance.

Excited about your upcoming trip to Tokyo, but traveling with someone who has never read, or just doesn’t get, Murakami?
