Tokyo

The portable "World Travel Guide to Tokyo" has been designed to be a companion for those holiday or business travellers (of whom 15,000 visit Tokyo from Britain each year) who seek information not only on Tokyo's sights and entertainments but also on the practicalities of spending time in the city. As well as a selective, detailed list of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops, there is a wealth of practical information on subjects such as public transport and visiting the surrounding area. Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Osaka are all covered. Concise cultural and historical information provides a useful background to the decriptions of famous sights suggested itineraries. The guide also points the way to some of the less well-known places, monuments and points of interest which the visitor may, otherwise, miss. There are full colour, well designed maps with helpful street plans of all the major cities described.
