Virge #0: Kanagawa, Japan

A travel and lifestyle magazine created by a Japanese team, the core concept is to avoid popular landmarks and instead explore hidden locations recommended by locals. The debut issue presents a true portrait of Kanagawa, along with a deep dive into its culture. The editor was inspired by his travels in Europe, where he adhered to the principles of “no travel guides, no hotels, no prior research” and aimed to guide readers in a similar fashion. The editor asks readers to keep the recommended locations private in order to preserve the uniqueness of these places. The book is presented in English.
