Review: I bought them all and found this to be one of the best! - I recently returned from a trip to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima) and this was one of the travel/tour guide books that I found to be the most helpful. Especially because it covered the area I was going - I cannot recommend strongly enough that if going to Japan you go to Kyoto - but this guide book covered everything that I needed and was looking for without feeling too general. I found the map to be the best as well. I also found the subway map of Tokyo in the back to have been the most helpful of the guides - rather it was most similar to what I found in Tokyo. There are not color photos as there are in other books. But cutting out the 'fluff' made this book useable and easy to transport across the globe and around Japan. I found the organization and ease of use with this Frommer's guide the easiest of all the books I bought. I also found many tips, hints, and gems for my trip which made it so memorable and the trip of a lifetime - in this book! I wondered if this book would be a duplicate of my 3 lonely planet books and a Terrior Guide but it was truly a purchase I was so grateful I made and made my trip so much better! In fact it was the only official 'guidebook' I traveled with (I took my Terroir Guide, Food, Sake, Tokyo also which is great too!). Having looked at and ordered all the guides out there I think you'll get the most bang for your buck with this guide. This guide does cover other 'side trips' the largest section devoted to Osaka. But there is information on Hiroshima, Nara, Miyajima, Kamakura, Nikko, Hakone, Kanazawa, Ogimachi, Hida Takayama, & Kurashiki. Of course the bulk of the book covers Tokyo and it's individual neighborhoods and Kyoto. As a side note, I also found the best explanation on Japan Railway passes in this book. Importantly, this book gave great links and specifics as to locations in certain subway/rail stations to find maps/english speaking guides (though I didn't have an issue with this when traveling), information about post offices, obtaining wi-fi, exchanging money, Japan travel tourism, embassies, and health and hospital info.
Review: Best of all the Guides I brought with me to Japan - This book came in incredibly handy over my recent trip to Japan. I had never been to Japan, and was worried that I would be limiting myself with a book that did not cover ALL of Japan. However, my trip was to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, and this book covered all of them, especially the first 3, with incredible detail and insider knowledge. The larger full Japan coverage books were way too big and provided almost too much general coverage, whereas this book has a great focused concentration. I appreciated that the author gave history and cultural backgrounds in the beginning of the book and before each chapter/city, because this really is a complex culture that is so different than Western culture and even other Asian countries I have visited. Also, as with most cities, there are specific traditions, dishes and mannerisms, that differ between the cities. All the sightseeing itineraries, restaurants recommendations, and sightseeing/attractions grades, were all spot-on with my likings. I am mid 30's and went with my wife and some friends, and I think this book definitely is geared towards the 30+ demographic. I also had a Lonely Planet guide, and 2 other smaller publication guides with me, and this was by far the best of all of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A helpful and fun guide to popular sites in Tokyo and Kyoto.
*by S***D on October 27, 2016*

An excellent guide to Kyoto and Tokyo, with informative and often witty blurbs on hotels, restaurants, and sites. The star ratings for sites were also a great quick glance to decide which of the hundreds of temples to visit! I found it lacking in a couple areas: no photos; and not much information on public transportation in Kyoto. In fact, for both cities, a more thorough description of how to use the subways would be helpful. I would recommend this guide as it's helpful and more lightweight than others.
