 Invaluable Guide February 24, 2008
My daughter and I used the 9th Edition of Frommer's Tokyo on our recent trip to Japan. We found it to be well written, easy to use with very down to earth suggestions. Since neither of us had any prior knowledge of Tokyo, it was invaluable. We had a most enjoyable week, but we wouldn't have had so many wonderful experiences without this guide.
 Not perfect but still worth it. October 3, 2005

Not a bad read. If you want some guidlines as to where to go and what to do it's a good start. I love the fact that it not only has busness names but phone numbers as well! The directions arn't that good aparently even the Japanese people have a hard time finding their way around Tokyo. It also has some Japanese words that you can learn in the back of the book. For example, Hi what's your name? and What time is it? and do you have any rooms availible? I have personally never been to Japan but with this book I think I will be more confadent. One more note, Buy the full Frommer's Japan book not the Tokyo edition. I Have both of them and the full Japan edition has the same info and tons more than the simple little Tokyo edition.
 Get a Frommer's Japan not just Tokyo June 16, 2005

Just went to Tokyo and took this book with me. The few places they reccommend that I went to were just ok. I suggest getting a book for all of Japan as this book only covers Tokyo and there were several places or Kui in "Tokyo" that I went to that weren't even covered in the book, that were very interesting!
Japan is a great place to Visit!!
SUBWAY MAP WAS GREAT!!! May 23, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I got the 7th edition of this book and I thought it was great! I lived in Tokyo for over 7 months and I used the book all the time to get around! I would map out my destination on the subway map and follow it all the way there and back! The directions that I got for each walking tour were great...minus one little spot, the Yanaka walking tour was nice until the last stop. But other than that I thought the directions were spot on giving which exit to leave the subway and giving prices for everything. The book is kind of thick for daytime travel but all the info was great. One of the bars that I frequented, the owner saw I had pulled out the book told me of the woman who came in to verify the info. I loved it and am so glad I got it! I'm sure to take it back with me when I go back in a few months.
Useful but buy the full guide... April 9, 2001

Though I don't have my copy in front of me to verify, I seem to recall that the book actually lists the Kanji for the names of hard to find restaurants in the back section, making it easy to find restaurants without English names. I just thought I'd throw that out there so nobody was misled by the other review.I do agree that there is a decided lack of maps. I was able to find my way through the city but not without taking a few wrong turns. Still, I liked asking for directions. It will give you a chance to practice your Japanese. Frommer's: Japan IS just as comprehensive as Frommer's: Tokyo though. There's really no need to buy this book unless you're going to be spending the entirety of your trip in the capital. If you are going to Japan for anything other than business, please go someplace like Kyoto or even just a quick trip to Hakone. You won't regret it.
