Don’t go anywhere without, or with anything other than the local Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit - essential. This edition published October 1997. Visit the Lonely Planet Homepage.
Equally as good and more suitably pocket sized. Only necessary if you will spend a lot of time in this city and not other parts of Japan. NEW EDITION DUE THIS YEAR!
Good coverage of transport and accomodation (its main purpose). Interesting and refreshing sightseeing guide. A great complement to the LP guide.
A nicely laid out guide with lots of colour photographs on every page. Unfortunately, like many other guides, this has two of the most important parts, accomodation and eating out, badly covered and shoved in somewhere at the end of the book. Back to Lonely Planet!
