 Great Book May 19, 2007

I think this book is a real good one! And I recommend it to everybody who's interested in history, culture, etc. I went to Tokyo and Kyoto with it, and I was able to understand many things, and to see a lot!
There's great pictures, detailed map, and smart comments. The author really understand the country from the inside.
Excellent book !
 Updated? or OUTDATED!! August 16, 2006
5 out of 24 found this review helpful
I have been here in Japan for almost 9 years.
First of all, the pictures and the fashion is out of date. The trends that the "ko-gal" is wearing was back in 2000 when it was "in". How come the meaning of the outfit isn't explained? Only says that "changing fashions reflect greater independence for women"?! Even though only 15% of the youngsters wore the outfit that is shown. Fashion is out of date, and why is the minor part of the fashion is explained as if its the most major trend. Lack of explaination is seen.
Second, I was looking forward for the Hiroshima section, though only a page is written on it. People say it takes more than a day to travel around the area but from reading, theres actually nothing that had caught my eyes because all of the places are only the basics. There are a lot more I can point out however I won't because it is a waste of my time since it is not my obligation to do so. Maybe more observation is needed for a true updated book.
