Insight Guides: Tokyo Smart Guide

SmartGuide Tokyo reveals this dazzling megacity through snappy, easy-to-find listings, complemented by beautiful pictures and detailed mapping.

Targeted at confident and curious travellers, this book provides all the information needed to keep foodies, clubbers, culture vultures and keen shoppers more than busy. After a concise run-down of Tokyo's must-see attractions, the Area section reveals the city's most interesting neighbourhoods, from the dynamic buzz of Shinjuku and youth culture centre of Shibuya to the museum district of Ueno. In addition to the detailed Atlas section, every Area features its own locator map.

The A-Z features over 400 listings organised by everything from architecture to walks and views, so readers can pick and choose what to see and do, whether that's exploring Tokyo's boutiques, watching Sumo wrestling or taking a moment for contemplation at a temple or shrine. In addition, Insight Guides' trademark cultural and historical focus is evident in the chapters on Otaku culture, film, literature, theatre and dance. Sections on hotels, essential information and transport help visitors make the most of their visit.
