Reviews / Votes
"...for many travelers -- such as those just spending a short time in the city or those who have a few free days during a business trip -- this book is just what they need...comprehensive in scope and brief in descriptions, packing in information about popular places most people would want to see: shrines, temples, cheap restaurants, fine dining, hiking trails and shopping districts...It's a classic travel guide that includes a pull-out map, and it comes in a size small enough to carry around in a purse or jacket pocket." --About.com "The slim, 98-page book fits in neatly in your handbag, and comes with a large, detailed map. It's concise, light reading and gives the first-timer to Tokyo all you need to know about the city. There's also plenty of insider local knowledge so you can really get the most out of your visit." --Simply Fabulicious blog "All in all, Tuttle Travel Pack Tokyo is a well-designed and practical guide for the first-time visitor to Japan's capital as well as to foreign residents keen on learning as fast and as much about the city as possible." --Japan Reference blogMore details
