All aboard! Next stop, Tokyo wonderland!!

Join novelist Ken Nishimura for a trip around Tokyo via its route buses as he visits and stops in at some of Tokyo's stranger spots, from sites associated with eccentric writer Kafu Nagai and the house of the character Onihei or "Heizo the Demon" from Ikenami Shotaro's popular series of historical novels, to the setting for the story of notorious vengeful ghost Oiwa and the mound where the head of Hean-period samurai Taira no Masakado is buried. A freewheeling book with a bus route at the end of each chapter to kindle the literary explorer inside you.
