 Very helpful Nov 15, 2009
By Dave
I recently returned from an awesome week in Tokyo, and I'm a little baffled by the negative reviews of this book. It helped me make good choices of what to see and do in Tokyo. Of course this would not suffice as your only source of information, but without it for example I would have missed out on Kichijoji and Inokashira Park, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my visit. Another reviewer said it best: "What I also liked about the Lonely Planet guide was the author's mention of the avant-garde of Tokyo for those who want to see more than just Tokyo Disneyland." If you're just taking Gray Line bus tours this is not the book for you.
 Compact Travel Guide Apr 17, 2010
By Tina
I found this to be a great, compact guide with informative basic info (English name, Japanese name, description, address, hours, etc). The neighborhood map preceding each section is small but pinpoints every listing. If you're not keen at reading maps or have a good sense of direction, this book may not be for you since the author does not provide detailed directions. She does list the closet subway exit and marks the locations on the map, which was enough to get me going. The maps in the book were much better than the larger tear-out Tokyo City Map for finding exact locations. Though it's not as comprehensive as other guides, a few of the Shop, Eat, & Drink listings are unique.
Overall, this book serves well as a supplement to thicker, more detailed guides while planning itineraries, but is THE book to carry when roaming Tokyo streets. Slap on a bookcover to look less touristy; of course, that's pointless if you stand out amongst the Tokyoites regardless of what you're holding.
