Great book
This audiobook is like a time machine that whisks you away to ancient Japan! I was totally hooked from the start. What really blew my mind was how these old stories still pop up in modern Japan - it's like connecting the dots between the past and present. I'm not usually big on history stuff, but this had me glued to my headphones. It's perfect whether you're a Japan newbie or someone who's been into anime for years. The narrator's voice is super engaging too, making even the weirder parts easy to follow. By the end, I felt like I understood so much more about Japanese culture. If you're looking for something different that'll spark your imagination, give this a listen. It's like the coolest bedtime stories you've never heard!

The Story of the Janpanese Mythology
As a kid, I watched some legendary heroes of the Japanese cultural heritage and their history. I have never travelled to Japan, but I always wanted to take pictures of the cities and explore the religious culture. I am glad this audiobook exists to help me understand what it is like to be there. There are movies that were created there, and they give us an idea of what that country looks like. Many ancient beliefs are still there, and unique stories exist for our exploration. I like the narration, the history and culture of that country.

A fun listen
This is such a fun listen. I really enjoy mythology, but I mostly have read Greek (with a little bit of Norse in there too).
But I came to the book, knowing absolutely nothing about Japanese mythology. And I can say, I had a lot of fun listening to this.
