(Japanese Geography in Tourism)
This is one of the musts to pass the third test (the paper test in Japanese). One effective way of study with this book is to check all the major cities, mountain ranges, rivers, plains, national parks on the book with the Atlas of Japan and then fill them out in a blank map by yourself. We suggest that you read the book as many times as possible until you have memorized it. You should also prepare so that you can write all the names in KANJI(Chinese character),too.

(Brief History of Japanese Culture and Diplomatic Intercourse)
This is another must for the third test that many passers of the examination have read. It is also so compact that you should read it thoroughly by referring the chronology attached at the back. The book gives you the general flow of Japanese history and will help you when you read more detailed history books of Japan.
