This adventurous pop-up book for kids whisks you on a whirlwind tour of Tokyo's most famous landmarks!
Tokyo Pop-Up Book cleverly pairs cultural and geographical information with artful paper engineering and an exciting storyline.

- Asakusa Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple where their adventure begins.
- The thriving shopping district above Akihabara Station
- A stadium where a rousing Sumo match is in progress
- Shinjuku Station, where riders are packed into trains by professional "pushers"
- The imposing Tokyo Skytree tower, the tallest structure in Japan, where poor Neko has a dizzying close call
- The base of iconic Mt. Fuji, where the adventure has its happy conclusion
