Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The Tuttle Travel Pack Japan gives a great overall roundup of Japan and its must see sites and events. While it's a little light on the accommodation, restaurant and location insights, it delivers a well rounded look at Japan and should serve as a good starting point to planning your trip. The guide isn't bulky like some guides and should fit comfortably in a purse or travel bag. The guide seems to be sturdy so it shouldn't be falling apart from the wear and tear on your travels and the included map is a great added bonus." -IHeartJapan.ca blog "This full-color guidebook is filled with information indispensable to those traveling in Japan." -Hiragana Times "This is the book that gives you the best of the best!
