This review is from: Frommer's Japan (Paperback)
I find this guide to have a lot of useful information. I still have to travel to Japan, so maybe I will have a different opinion once I am there.

A good, solid choice,

This review is from: Frommer's® Japan: The Best of Tokyo and the Countryside, 5th Edition (Paperback)
Whenever I travel abroad, I usually buy at least two travel guides to pore over before I leave, but I travel with only one. This is the one I took with me to Japan because it seemed the most practical and comprehensive for its size. Although it doesn't have the depth and the off-beat information of the Lonely Planet series, the Frommer provides solid paragraphs about the attractions as well as reliable recommendations for dining and lodging (though I wish they provided longer lists.) The walking tour sections are well-planned, and the cultural details are accurate. Because of the size of Tokyo, the guide divides the city into neighborhoods, a feature you'll welcome when you're there but which makes for difficult planning beforehand, as you have to page through the various areas to find all the hotels in your price range.I have never found a single guidebook to meet all my needs, but, if you can only buy one, this would be a good choice.

Excellent and well used,

This review is from: Frommer's® Japan: The Best of Tokyo and the Countryside, 5th Edition (Paperback)
If you are going to Japan for a week or two on vacation, this is the one book you will need. Some go into much greater depth, but Frommer's provided me with plenty of options at all price catagories, all of which were excellent. By the end of the trip I didn't use my Lonely Planet guide any longer as I trusted the Frommer's guide. The size is easy to carry and the orgination makes it easy to quickly reference on the street. The only thing missing is better maps, but I traveled with one in addition to the guide to round out my trip. Well done.
