 Horrible Directions and Maps - Lost in Tokyo October 9, 2000
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My companion and I tried to use this book in Tokyo (since we purchased it and felt that we had to get full value). Needless to say the maps were horrible (placements of the restaurants, hotels and sites on the maps were incorrect). They also have the horrible habit of putting only the english names (hello!!!, we're in Japan) of the restaurants/sites/hotels in the book so when you try to find the place - you may walk past it endlessly until you ask every stranger on the street. Unless you're going to stick to the most basic tourist areas where everything is translated for the gaijin, don't even think about this book. On the other hand, if you like to meet strangers, this is an excellent excuse. [Eventually we broke down and had to buy another travel guide]
 Comprehensive, but not for the directionally-challenged June 20, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
With straight-forward descriptions and commentary (typical ofFrommer's guides), this is a very comprehensive guide to Tokyo. I'vespent the past 6 weeks living and working in Tokyo, using this book to guide my weekend adventures. The places/attractions, etc. I've visited--based on Frommer's Tokyo suggestions--have even impressed coworkers (Tokyo natives). Two drawbacks: The maps are a bit lacking and the "walking tour" directions are a bit confusing, even for those who are not directionally-challenged. Note: I also purchased the Frommer's Japan guide and after comparing its Tokyo section to the Frommer's Tokyo guide, I realized that the Japan guide is equally comprehensive. END
