Tokyo

The Lonely Planet's "City Guides" series provides in-depth coverage of cities around the world, in a pocket-sized format. Each guide features: detailed colour maps of the most interesting areas of the city, as well as gatefold maps on the inside front and back covers for an overview of the city; colour photographs throughout; accommodation and restaurant suggestions for a range of budgets; information on day trips away from the city; advice on getting around using public transport; a shopping guide; and a list of "musts" to see and do. This "City Guide" covers Tokyo, leading the way through this high-energy powerhouse into small pockets of ancient wooden houses, quiet suburbs, Japanese inns and kimono shops. Full travel details, city walks and numerous maps are included, along with suggestions for day trips beyond the city.
