I didn't read it cover to cover， but it did help me plan a continent spanning trip。 However， there were a few mix-ups in locations。 Nothing too crazy， but some shrines were listed as being in one complex when they are really somewhere else。 Luckily， the misplaces shrines/monuments were never to far from where they were mentioned， but I'm glad I double checked。 I didn't read it cover to cover， but it did help me plan a continent spanning trip。 However， there were a few mix-ups in locations。 Nothing too crazy， but some shrines were listed as being in one complex when they are really somewhere else。 Luckily， the misplaces shrines/monuments were never to far from where they were mentioned， but I'm glad I double checked。 。。。more

There is an overwhelming amount of things to do， see， and eat！ One day。 One day。。。

Despite spanning over 900 pages， Lonely Planet's guide hardly even begins to capture the magic of Japan。 The authors are far too focused on the big cities and major tourist attractions， there is little to mention of things to do in further off the beaten track places。 Even within the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka， it misses some of the more secret， but far more enjoyable things to do。 Despite spanning over 900 pages， Lonely Planet's guide hardly even begins to capture the magic of Japan。 The authors are far too focused on the big cities and major tourist attractions， there is little to mention of things to do in further off the beaten track places。 Even within the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka， it misses some of the more secret， but far more enjoyable things to do。 。。。more

Handy and comprehensive guide to travelling around Japan。 Excellent information on transport options， tourist hot spots and seasonal information。 Comes with a pull out map and Narita airport card 。 My only criticisms - the print is very small and the book if very chunky （not the best option for the luggage。 Great pre-holiday reading。

Kim Lanza ，

Once again， LP provided me with the details to get around and enjoy my destination。 Japan is such an interesting place and LP helped narrow the options to plan the best trip for our time there in December。

Trinity ，

This guide was very helpful and gave us plenty of inspiration while planning our trip。

Cristina ，

Great through travel guide。 I am happy I had this while traveling。

Voy a repetir lo que he dicho en otras guías， porque la reflexión es la misma y la estructura también:Las guías de viaje de este estilo ya solo tienen sentido en el siglo XXI por la conveniencia de tener casi toda la información necesaria en un único sitio porque， por lo demás， carecen de la fluidez y la velocidad de actualización （particularmente en lo hostelero） que nos pueden ofrecer nuestro portal favorito de hoteles o TripAdvisor。 Evidentemente， el modelo está cambiando y， por muy actualiza Voy a repetir lo que he dicho en otras guías， porque la reflexión es la misma y la estructura también:Las guías de viaje de este estilo ya solo tienen sentido en el siglo XXI por la conveniencia de tener casi toda la información necesaria en un único sitio porque， por lo demás， carecen de la fluidez y la velocidad de actualización （particularmente en lo hostelero） que nos pueden ofrecer nuestro portal favorito de hoteles o TripAdvisor。 Evidentemente， el modelo está cambiando y， por muy actualizada que esté una guía， los países son conjuntos que evolucionan cada día más y lo que ayer molaba puede que hoy no: la única forma de saberlo es a través de Internet。Pero a mí me gustan mucho las guías Lonely Planet porque te dejan bien claro cuáles son las cosas que no debes perderte a nivel cultural en cada sitio y， siendo cosas que muchas veces tienen siglos， es difícil que su importancia cambie de un día para otro; también me gusta mucho que te dicen en qué atracciones compensa comprar la entrada previamente para evitar horas de cola， los trasfondos artístico-históricos de todas y cada una de ellas， sus precios。。。 De otra manera， es muy complicado que todo estos datos se ofrezcan en una única página。También hay que tener en cuenta que una guía de estas características no se lee de cabo a rabo como un libro cualquiera， sino que se usa para organizar un viaje pero no para aprenderlo y， llegado el momento de estar allí， leer con mucho más detenimiento las descripciones de cada lugar。 Lo bueno que tienen estas es que también tienen un acercamiento histórico y artístico completo de cada región que sirve como introducción a todas las especificidades que se desarrollan。 ¡Es material valioso！Supongo que， con el paso del tiempo， este tipo de guías desaparecerán completamente en beneficio de páginas web que ofrecerán lo mismo a través de GPS， incluyendo audioguías y otra serie de cosas muy beneficiosas。 El progreso es imparable pero， mientras tanto， cada vez que salgo de viaje me llevo mi Lonely Planet， que tampoco está de más。Finalmente， he de destacar un problema de esta edición digital: la navegación es pésima， los enlaces solo funcionan a veces， y el índice es demasiado escueto para la complejidad taxonómica del contenido。 。。。more

We buy Lonely Planet books before travelling to another country because it helps us get an idea of what exists。 This book did that， but not much else。 The "budget" recommendations were expensive， the "off the beaten path" options were still highly touristed， and they didnt eben mention some of the best neighborhoods we found。 Good to get your bearings， but afterwards， I'd lean on TokyoCheapo ;-） We buy Lonely Planet books before travelling to another country because it helps us get an idea of what exists。 This book did that， but not much else。 The "budget" recommendations were expensive， the "off the beaten path" options were still highly touristed， and they didnt eben mention some of the best neighborhoods we found。 Good to get your bearings， but afterwards， I'd lean on TokyoCheapo ;-） 。。。more

Lonely Planet provides the best travel guides。 I find every information needed and much more， such as history of Japan and culture insights。

Ritu ，

Note: I did not read the entire book I only read and noted the locations I will be visiting。 The book is informative for the parts I read and would refer to while traveling。

Louise Burke ，

Really handy whilst travelling and also planning before you leave。 some space in the back to collect the stamps which are available most places you visit。

Jani Aaltonen ，

Kindle version is great while traveling 。 You can easily read it in the metro in your way to next place you want to see。 Google map links are working fine。A must guide to have when travelling in Japan as a tourist。

Sarah ，

Lonely Planet does a fantastic job with their guidebooks and this one is no exception。 Very comprehensive guide to the culture and each region。

Lawrence ，

I read more of this than I necessarily expected to， given that I'm rarely interested in seeing "the sights" when I travel。 There were two or three places suggested here which my 'local guide' hadn't heard of （mostly gardens/shrines in Kyoto） which were indeed cool and worth the trip。 I've never really used travel guides before， but maybe I should？ I read more of this than I necessarily expected to， given that I'm rarely interested in seeing "the sights" when I travel。 There were two or three places suggested here which my 'local guide' hadn't heard of （mostly gardens/shrines in Kyoto） which were indeed cool and worth the trip。 I've never really used travel guides before， but maybe I should？ 。。。more

Very helpful book！ Everything you need to know about Japan in one place （:

Nick ，

A fine overview of a complex， culturally sophisticated country。 Great background， general history， and informative sidebars。 I'll note the Kindle edition was less than ideal—lots of odd characters here and there， poor formatting， and impossible to read maps。 It's fine for last minute reference or confirming details on the plane， but worked poorly as a primary reference。 A fine overview of a complex， culturally sophisticated country。 Great background， general history， and informative sidebars。 I'll note the Kindle edition was less than ideal—lots of odd characters here and there， poor formatting， and impossible to read maps。 It's fine for last minute reference or confirming details on the plane， but worked poorly as a primary reference。 。。。more

This is an AMAZING book。The entire Google about Japan in a book， and even more！ Surprisingly， it has even more information about certain areas than what I could find on google and travel websites。

Was INCREDIBLY helpful on my vacation。 It was also great in areas where I could get GPS but couldn't get internet - the links in the book could be used by Google Maps and I could get an idea of where I needed to get to even if it couldn't necessarily plan the route for me。 Will definitely use again if I go back。 Was INCREDIBLY helpful on my vacation。 It was also great in areas where I could get GPS but couldn't get internet - the links in the book could be used by Google Maps and I could get an idea of where I needed to get to even if it couldn't necessarily plan the route for me。 Will definitely use again if I go back。 。。。more

I've had other lonely planet books before and when you buy a lonely planet you know what you get。 This is why I bought this book for my upcoming trip to japan。 There is a lot of info in there and once we get there I know I can capitalize on this book as well to find my way around。 I've had other lonely planet books before and when you buy a lonely planet you know what you get。 This is why I bought this book for my upcoming trip to japan。 There is a lot of info in there and once we get there I know I can capitalize on this book as well to find my way around。 。。。more

Lots of helpful things in this book to help with planing a trip to any part of Japan

Used this one on my return to Japan 16 years and 8 months later。 This is an updated version of the first travel guidebook I ever used。 Amazing trip， but nothing compares to living there。

Worth to read before you plan a trip to Japan

This is a good introduction to travelling around Japan， with sections on all the geographical areas of the country。 If you are going to Japan， or thinking of going there， you cannot go astray by picking this up。 In classic LP fashion， there are sections on culture， history， et cetera， and it will tell you much of what you should know before setting out。 I enjoyed browsing through it and reading up on places I knew I would not be visiting because it gave me a good idea of what many parts of the c This is a good introduction to travelling around Japan， with sections on all the geographical areas of the country。 If you are going to Japan， or thinking of going there， you cannot go astray by picking this up。 In classic LP fashion， there are sections on culture， history， et cetera， and it will tell you much of what you should know before setting out。 I enjoyed browsing through it and reading up on places I knew I would not be visiting because it gave me a good idea of what many parts of the country are like。 And the territory of Japan is diverse， stretching from northern forests in Hokkaido to tropical islands in the southwest， and mountainous areas scattered around the country。 Their recommendations on restaurants and accommodations in the bigger， more touristed areas however can be mostly discounted。 One Japanese-American friend of mine certainly felt that way。 Not that their advice is bad， but you will find many choices of places to eat and stay， a lot of them very good， and there is no way LP can cover them all。 。。。more

Very very useful。

When reviewing before my trip， this book was a bit overwhelming。 It's heavy as well， though I did carry it around with me。 Overall， I think it's a great reference as long as you have a larger context of where things are in relation to each other， but not great for split decision making on the ground。 Pros: I artificially seemed like an expert on Japan， even though I only knew like four phrases。 This book is chock full with information， and it got to the point where the Taiwanese professor leadin When reviewing before my trip， this book was a bit overwhelming。 It's heavy as well， though I did carry it around with me。 Overall， I think it's a great reference as long as you have a larger context of where things are in relation to each other， but not great for split decision making on the ground。 Pros: I artificially seemed like an expert on Japan， even though I only knew like four phrases。 This book is chock full with information， and it got to the point where the Taiwanese professor leading the trip was asking me for advice and other classmates expected me to know where I was going （an awkward， high pressure situation， lol）。 The history and background research is also high-quality， in addition to the sights， restaurants， hotels， etc。 Cons: The tear out map is not as helpful as the tourist maps you can get on the ground， except for the subway map on the back。 The information isn't organized by neighborhood （except for the smaller maps and top sights） so you have to flip through to the massive Tokyo Eats or Sleeps section if you want to find information about a specific restaurant or hotel。 So it's a detailed reference but not necessarily when you need a snap decision。 One pet peeve was when I wanted to go to Kikunoi for dinner， they had the lunch rather than the dinner prices specified， so I ended up not going because it was so much more expensive than what was cited in the book。 。。。more
