Good， not amazing， but perfectly decent travel guide。 Does what's expected of it。 （5* = amazing， terrific book， one of my all-time favourites， 4* = very good book， 3* = good book， but nothing to particularly rave about， 2* = disappointing book， and 1* = awful， just awful。 As a statistician I know most books are 3s， but I am biased in my selection and end up mostly with 4s， thank goodness。） Good， not amazing， but perfectly decent travel guide。 Does what's expected of it。 （5* = amazing， terrific book， one of my all-time favourites， 4* = very good book， 3* = good book， but nothing to particularly rave about， 2* = disappointing book， and 1* = awful， just awful。 As a statistician I know most books are 3s， but I am biased in my selection and end up mostly with 4s， thank goodness。） 。。。more

An approachable guide to Tokyo and its different locations and culture。 The photos are appealing （although they do not come to their full beauty due to the rather plain paper it is printed on， but that's a detail）。 It is well structured with an introduction to Tokyo's highlights as well as some suggestions for a 1， 3 and 5 day itinerary。 The topics range widely from the city itself with its layout， foods， geek culture to WW II history etc。 and it's good to have at hand。There is a fold out map at An approachable guide to Tokyo and its different locations and culture。 The photos are appealing （although they do not come to their full beauty due to the rather plain paper it is printed on， but that's a detail）。 It is well structured with an introduction to Tokyo's highlights as well as some suggestions for a 1， 3 and 5 day itinerary。 The topics range widely from the city itself with its layout， foods， geek culture to WW II history etc。 and it's good to have at hand。There is a fold out map at the back showing the different parts of Tokyo in detail as well as an overview of the transport links on the inside of the back cover。A good book for inspiration and planning。 Especially if used with fully up-to-date information from the internet。 。。。more

I really like the Eyewitness Travel series of guides and find that they are excellent tools when planning a trip。 The Tokyo version is great， with a comprehensive breakdown of the areas of the city （including suggestions for self-conducted walking tours） and great suggestions for day trips to surrounding areas。 This pocket size guide is easy to pack， and contains great maps and handy hints and tips （like what menu items are， which travel passes to buy etc）。 If you are going to Tokyo， this book i I really like the Eyewitness Travel series of guides and find that they are excellent tools when planning a trip。 The Tokyo version is great， with a comprehensive breakdown of the areas of the city （including suggestions for self-conducted walking tours） and great suggestions for day trips to surrounding areas。 This pocket size guide is easy to pack， and contains great maps and handy hints and tips （like what menu items are， which travel passes to buy etc）。 If you are going to Tokyo， this book is worth the investment。 。。。more

Always a pleasure， DK books。 I think this book is best for history， culture and getting by rather than suggested places to eat and even things to see （though we did follow up on suggestions to both）。 Its survival guide is always full of useful information， small cultural nuances other books miss。 Lots of info on the flavours of Japan！But it also had 4 pages on the National History Museum。 4 bloody pages on what my husband said "made samurai swords boring。" Get it to understand Tokyo better， not Always a pleasure， DK books。 I think this book is best for history， culture and getting by rather than suggested places to eat and even things to see （though we did follow up on suggestions to both）。 Its survival guide is always full of useful information， small cultural nuances other books miss。 Lots of info on the flavours of Japan！But it also had 4 pages on the National History Museum。 4 bloody pages on what my husband said "made samurai swords boring。" Get it to understand Tokyo better， not for the sights。 。。。more

I tend to buy the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides because they have full-color photographs of most places mentioned in the book。 This is especially helpful for when I return from the trip and cannot always remember what is in my personal photograph。 I deducted a star from this guide because there were no mentions of Tokyo Disneyland。

I usually love the DK guides， yet this one didn't have that much info considering the size of Tokyo。 I usually love the DK guides， yet this one didn't have that much info considering the size of Tokyo。 。。。more

Good pocket guide to Tokyo with fantastic colour illustrations as expected from Eyewitness guides。 Used to explore Tokyo in 2011。

Not all inclusive but lots of nice pictures。

We used this guide pretty extensively when learning about many of the logistics of getting around and hanging out in Toyko this summer。 We especially appreciated the photos on every page - so many more than any other book， and so necessary in such a foreign city！

I am a huge fan of the Eyewitness Guides and the Tokyo edition was no exception。 There are plenty of sightseeing options given， but it is well-edited so the information is not overwhelming。 If one were to do an extended （monthlong or more） visit to Tokyo you'd want a more comprehensive book， but for a quick trip this lists the highlights。 The history and culture information was also interesting and useful。 I enjoyed my short trip very much with the help of the guidebook's recommendations。 I am a huge fan of the Eyewitness Guides and the Tokyo edition was no exception。 There are plenty of sightseeing options given， but it is well-edited so the information is not overwhelming。 If one were to do an extended （monthlong or more） visit to Tokyo you'd want a more comprehensive book， but for a quick trip this lists the highlights。 The history and culture information was also interesting and useful。 I enjoyed my short trip very much with the help of the guidebook's recommendations。 。。。more

Another in the excellent DK Eyewitness series - these give the travelere a great perspective on what they'll see when they get there。 Focusing on the top tourist sites， the floor plans of museums and historical sites are better than any detailed description of the site。 Hotel and restaurant info is sketchy， but that's what Frommers and Fodors are for。 Another in the excellent DK Eyewitness series - these give the travelere a great perspective on what they'll see when they get there。 Focusing on the top tourist sites， the floor plans of museums and historical sites are better than any detailed description of the site。 Hotel and restaurant info is sketchy， but that's what Frommers and Fodors are for。 。。。more
