Editorial Review: Product Description: The Rough Guide to Tokyo is the ultimate insiders guide to accessing Japan''s dazzling capital, with comprehensive coverage of all the sights, from beautiful traditional gardens to start-of-the-art museums and the iconic new Tokyo Midtown development. It tracks down the latest and best places to sleep, eat, drink and shop and gives detailed accounts of day-trips to Mount Fuji, the tranquil temples of Kamakura, and other nearby attractions. Full-colour sections introduce Tokyo''s highlights, its stunning modern architecture and design and its shrines and temples, and two new colour sections cover the city''s eye-opening contemporary art galleries and refreshing onsen and spas. You’ll find detailed information of Japanese cuisine and expanded coverage of shopping in the city. There are maps for the whole of the city and the recommended day-trips, plus a Tokyo subway map.

Do not buy the Rough Guides to Japan either-it's written by the same writers. The writers supposedly lived in Japan for several years. Didn't seem like it with all the circles they led us in and the bad directions! They did not even explain the subway system well enough. Book doesn't have a real map of the Tokyo metro (like the other books do). I was very disappointed with the book, having been a fan of Rough Guides for years. I will be switching ... Read More
