The author spoke about this book in a 2017 interview in Apartamento Magazine: "I had been working with young people in Tokyo, and most of them were not born in the city; they came from countryside towns. Back then, you had to come to Tokyo to do something, so these kids had a very negative feeling about their hometowns. I wanted to find the nicer side to these towns. I started to travel, and there were so many strange, interesting roadside attractions. So many countryside towns are like that--they're not like Kyoto. There's no shame in being born in a small town. "When I made Roadside Japan, I didn't know much about the countryside. It was a no-internet period, you couldn't find websites, you couldn't expect anything. No GPS. Nothing. There was almost no mobile reception, so I would just drive around with a map and discover these towns by myself. We didn't know about hihokan, or sex museums, until we found them. This was the mysterious side of Japan. . . . They're mysterious, but they're also common. These rural places--love hotels, especially--are so popular. Beautiful buildings in the countryside by Tadao Ando or someone similar are the exception. . . . They're like mini travel destinations. You can't just go to Venice for half a day, but you can have fun in a hotel that tries to copy that kind of experience. It's popular culture, love hotels, or hihokan. But some of that is changing; there were many hihokan in Japan 20 or 30 years ago, but now they've almost all gone.". N° de réf. du vendeur CNH0006730
