Customer Reviews

Practical, sensible and readable
Although I initially bought this guidebook as a backup, it rapidly became my first choice. This was because I found it to be practically sized, informative and enjoyable to read. The author has an obvious affection and enthusiasm for Japan and this was communicated in all descriptions of sites. Suggested walks were described clearly and the guide never feels like a directory of things you should do. Interesting sections about aspects of Japanese culture are useful and informative. The book is attractively illustrated, colourful and entertaining. A limited selection of hotels and restaurants are listed at the back.
