Zine № 1: How to Get Lost in Tokyo Like You Really Mean It

The first zine from Somewhere in Japan! A zine for getting lost. A zine for throwing yourself at the functionally endless megacity that is Tokyo, with principles that apply pretty much everywhere else in the world (just be careful). Partly practical, partly philosophical, this is more a manifesto than a tourism book.

In 2025 and 2026, I will be releasing a range of new zines. I'm doing it partly for the creative challenge, but mostly I'm doing it for fun. I'm working on my Japan travel book, but frankly I get bogged down, and having fun with zine-making is a good way to stay fresh and keep the creative juices flowing.

This is a bundle consisting of the zine formatted as an ebook, as well as a printable file so you can print and fold your own physical zine (there will be both US letter and A4 variants). There are instructions for how to print and assemble your zine.

NOTE: If you back my Japan travel book project, you'll also get this zine for free. No need to purchase separately unless you just want to give me more money (I won't stop you).

After purchase, you will have access to the download links for 30 days, so please download your files ASAP. If something happens and you need access after 30 days, please email me at david@somewherein.jp with your purchase information and I'll get the files to you.
