Japan Winter 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, slope by slope. > > 300 LARGE-PRINT PUZZLES. 600 WORDS. EVERY SNOW FESTIVAL, SKI SLOPE AND HOT POT OF JAPAN. > > Most word-search books give you 100 puzzles about anything. This one gives you 300 — and every single word belongs to Japan in winter. > > Travel the snowy country one puzzle at a time: the great snow festivals and their lanterns, kamakura snow huts and ice hotels, the ski resorts of Hokkaido and Honshu from Niseko to Hakuba and Zao, hot springs under falling snow, New Year traditions and the lucky foods of osechi, steaming hot pots, winter crab and yellowtail, snow-country tools, houses, trains and sweets, drift ice on the Okhotsk coast, snow monkeys and cranes, the names the Japanese give to twenty kinds of snow — 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 resort sits, why the dish is eaten. By Puzzle 300 you will read Japan's winter 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 winter's proper names, dishes, crafts 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 winter gift for Japan lovers, skiers, hot-spring fans, and anyone dreaming of a snowy trip. > > Inside: 300 puzzles · 30 winter themes · 600 words with notes · 3,000 word placements · verified unique solutions · full answer key
