Travel Guide Book

This is a must for any trip to Japan to have. We recently visited Japan for 12 days and found this guidebook invaluable. We stayed mainly in Tokyo - but definitely get Frommer's Tokyo JAPAN instead, because it includes all the info and Tokyo are a lot of good information on side trips. All proposals for activities and restaurants have been home runs. SPECIAL Andy Shin Himoto restaurant in Ginza in Tokyo. It 'has just been announced, incredibly fresh fish for aincredible value. We sat next to a local food lover who was amazed that we have his favorite "find" knew. 5 stars!

The tours offered each day in Tokyo were also home runs. We spent one night in Hakone, and found the tips to buy the Hakone Free Pass and accommodation (we stayed at the old Fuji-ya Hotel) have again been invaluable. The highlight of our trip was a trip to Kamakura. We appreciate the journey, even having read the story of the Giant Buddha and theKannon-do in Frommer's provided. Most of the most popular resorts in Japan are pamphlets in English, but not all. It 'nice to see the details and history in Frommer's, every experience is more rewarding. Quick Tip of Kamakura - the "Nature Trail" is a full on track that much longer than it looks on the tourist map. It 'been fun, but dress appropriately.

A Frommer's counterpart in Japan, that Tokyo is a must have Street Atlas: ABilingual Guide Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide (3rd ed.). The Frommer's cards are limited in scale and scope, but the Atlas of Tokyo has tons of very good, detailed maps - the maps are included underground, JR lines and the main strength - all the street names are listed in the corresponding Japanese characters. Note it says "leader", but Tokyo is only the Atlas maps.

The information on Japanese culture and customs in Frommer was useful, but a bit 'dated. Weyou see things a bit 'in a different way, because we are under (30) are only a big deal, we found that a distinction was made, the amount of Japanese people who spoke English. Many wanted to know English and we found that many people speak English with us. The Frommer's said that they speak English and Japanese, that's hard to entertain us with you - we find this is not the case! We met many friendly people in Japan to talk with us, welcomeWe propose and places to see. In addition, most of the work of the service sector know little 'of English, so it's easy to buy things and ask for assistance on the subway.

A tip from us - most places do not accept credit cards - especially the museums and the metro. We can not wait for this holiday plastic must have a lot of money (yen) on hand. I think I was on my credit card and charge card 4 times use a "service fee in foreign currency," that a share ofTransaction. The best place is the money and get large bills in Japan, broke the mail. All postal ATM locations and postal employees are ready to break large bills.

Japan is a country needs to see. If you are planning a trip here, congratulations! You make a good decision. We found the land clean, friendly, easy to navigate and full of rich culture, traditions and good food. Frommer's Japan is the perfect tour guideBook will help you fully enjoy your vacation. I recommend it to buy before planning your trip. In retrospect, I'd like to build a two-day trip to Kyoto - think I need to go back!

Enjoy your trip to Japan!
