Keeling's Guide to Japan

Keeling's Guide to Japan

"Keeling's Guide to Japan" was a tourist guidebook published in several editions during the 19th century by the Yokohama-based firm, "A. Farsari & Co." The guidebook provided accurate and detailed maps and plans of Japanese cities, resort areas, and building complexes; descriptions of sites, services and suggested itineraries; numerous informative tables; and pages of advertisements (including one for the Farsari photographic studio). Because of the degree of detail, the guide is useful even today as a resource for a better understanding of Japan in the second half of the 19th century.
