The most practical Tokyo guidebook for the size
In the excitement of my trip to Tokyo earlier this year, I brought about 5 guidebooks, and this one is the only one I actually took around with me in my pocket while I was there!
The Discovery Inside guide to Tokyo and the Dorling Kindersley guides contained more images and greater in-depth info, but are a lot bigger and heavier. This book is a great size, and is great for finding what you want to know, and fast. The maps (particularly the subway maps) are really easy to access and understand when youre on the go.
Whe youre out and about, you find that you dont have time to find a specific page in a hefty book or unfold a huge map - this book contains just the right amount of info in a very convenient package.

VERY HELPFUL!
I definately recommend this book to all future travellers to Tokyo!! It includes an English map on the first page - no need to flick through in the middle of the station or platform! Also, gives highlights of Tokyo - giving clear instructions on how to get there and the cost! A very handy book to keep with you - its not too thick and bulky either! States Tips for Travelling in Tokyo, including women travellers & vegeterians! Long lists of resturants and the best spot to pick up a nice bag or electronics! EXCELLENT BOOK! Definatley Recomend!
