Japan Summer Word Search

About this book

> Written and produced in Japan by a Japanese author — Aki Wakamatsu, published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC. This is not a mass-produced puzzle book: the 600-word pool was researched and written in Japan, festival by festival, beach by beach. > > 300 LARGE-PRINT PUZZLES. 600 WORDS. EVERY FIREWORKS SHOW, BON DANCE AND SHAVED-ICE STALL OF A JAPANESE SUMMER. > > Most word-search books give you 100 puzzles about anything. This one gives you 300 — and every single word belongs to Japan in summer. > > Travel the hot season one puzzle at a time: the great festivals by their full names from Gion to Nebuta, the named fireworks shows over summer rivers, Obon dances and floating lanterns, Tanabata wishes on bamboo, swimming beaches and island ferries, gorge railways and highland farms, shaved ice and cold noodles, watermelons and gift melons, fireflies and the cicada chorus, yukata knots and Koshien baseball, Okinawa's Eisa drums and Hokkaido's lavender slopes — in big, comfortable large-print 15×15 grids. > > Learn while you play: every hidden word comes with a one-line note — which festival it is, where the beach lies, why the dish is eaten. By Puzzle 300 you will read Japan's summer like a local. The 600-word pool was built for this book: not one grid word is recycled from the earlier volumes of this series — where those books used general words, this one uses summer's proper names, dishes, cultivars and season words. > > Made to be solved: all 300 puzzles are computer-verified in two independent ways, so every hidden word appears exactly once — no printing mistakes, no impossible grids. Full highlighted solutions are printed at the back. > > For paper and for pen: solve the paperback with a pencil, or open the Kindle Scribe edition and circle words right on the page. > > The perfect summer gift for Japan lovers, festival fans, beach dreamers, and anyone planning a summer trip to Japan. > > Inside: 300 puzzles · 30 summer themes · 600 words with notes · 3,000 word placements · verified unique solutions · full answer key
