The third installment of the popular "World's Most Spectacular Views You Must See Before You Die!" series, which has sold a total of 520,000 copies, has been released by Sanseido Books. This issue focuses on "breathtaking views you can stay in," and features approximately 60 carefully selected locations from around the world, including hotels, inns, campgrounds, and sleeper trains where you can enjoy breathtaking views. These include mountain views that can only be seen by climbing early in the morning and places that are difficult for families to access. The lineup includes "A hotel with windows above the beds, designed for stargazing," "A sky hotel in Japan enveloped in a sea of clouds every morning," "An oasis-like hotel that suddenly appears in the middle of the desert," and "700,000 yen a night!? A stay that's well worth it." The book uses high-quality paper that is not shiny and has a soft feel and texture. The printing was done by Yamada Photo Engraving, a group of artisans based in Toyama Prefecture. By using ink densities and printing roller rotations not previously used, they have succeeded in printing stunning photographs without compromising their dynamism.

To commemorate the release, a campaign produced by author Shiho and JTB will be held where you can enter a lottery to win a trip to Lampedusa Island, Italy, a place where boats appear to float.
