Customer Reviews

The only one you'll need?
I'm a first time tourist going to Tokyo and I found the guide to be extremely user friendly. Everything is listed very detailed and in colour. Even the subway system was covered, and I found it rendering the other subway guide I got pretty useless.

Probably the only gripe I have is that it only does it's job as an atlas guide and nothing more. No intro or extra info of the city and places, or tips on how the address system works in Japan and how you should go about finding your way around.

But all in all, a pretty satisfying buy.

The best bilingual map of Tokyo - Essential
I have been based in Tokyo for the last four years and have used extensively both the second and third editions of this book. I've also recommended this book to other expats and visitors coming to Tokyo for a reasonable length of time and had them find it useful and write positive reviews.

As noted by other reviewers, this is only a book of maps (streets, trains, subway) covering central "greater Tokyo" (i.e. more than inside the Yamanote line, but certainly not all 23 wards). You will need a guide book in addition - personally I'd recommend Lonely Planet, but that's just a personal preference.

This is a book for walking and travelling round Tokyo it is not really a driving atlas. It will help you find Tokyo landmarks and addresses (at least down to the right block - which is all you can expect...) but it is not particularly well arranged for driving round the city.

If you are coming to Tokyo for more than a couple of days I would recommend adding this book to your bag.

A great guide
This is the only atlas you'll need when travelling in Tokyo : full color maps, very clear, very detailed, with good subway map. You cannot get lost with this guide ! Buy also "Tokyo", the new edition from Lonely Planet, and you're set. It's the only two guides you"ll need : travel light !
