BOOK DISCOVERY
Foot-loose in Tokyo
First published 1976
Foot-loose in Tokyo, published in 1976 by Jean Pearce, is catalogued as a guidebook and explicitly associated with Yamatesen. The title suggests movement on foot, while the supplied subject identifies a Tokyo transport context. No further descriptive metadata is available, so the book should not be assigned a broader itinerary or narrative than those details support. Its framing connects walking, urban orientation, and a named transit reference, offering a basis for thinking about how travelers combine physical movement and transport knowledge when encountering Tokyo.
