Scope: Full guide: regions, destinations, cultural content & practical information

Full translation of a comprehensive travel guide to Japan for a Spanish travel publishing house specialising in destination guides.
The guide covered all major regions and provinces of Japan — from the modernity of Tokyo and the imperial heritage of Kyoto to Mount Fuji, Nara, Osaka and the Buddhist temple complex of Mount Koya — combining destination descriptions, cultural context, practical information and local recommendations across a large volume of text.
The project required navigating the specific challenges of Japanese cultural content: transliterating place names and proper nouns consistently, handling references to Buddhist and Shinto traditions for a general Spanish-speaking readership, and maintaining an engaging, authoritative voice throughout — the kind that makes a reader want to book the trip.
