Makes Tokyo Much More Fun,
By
This review is from: Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide (Paperback)
In one sense, it is very easy to get around Tokyo. The subways and trains go just about everywhere. On the other hand, finding a particular shop or restaurant can be very difficult (for Westerners) because of the tangle of streets and the lack of signs, but even more importantly the different method of identifying addresses. The maps in your guide book -- even the Lonely Planet books -- are not sufficient if you want to be able to find that restaurant your friend recommended.This easy-to-use map makes a world of difference. With it, you can find just about anything, even if you do not speak a word of Japanese and you have never been to Tokyo.

Never Lost In Tokyo,
By Otto Yuen (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide (Paperback)
This atlas is very light-weighted and handy in size. All location names are written in both romaji (English characters) and Japanese/Kanji characters. In addition to enclosing Metropolitan Tokyo Rail System and Tokyo Subway System, it provides detailed maps of Central Tokyo such as Ginza, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Ikenukuro, Harajuku, and Ueno, etc. All maps show the chome numbers and block numbers so that readers can easily identify the physical address location in Tokyo. The maps also show underground passage, park, subway, hospital, hotels, and so on. For all the subway stations on the maps, it indicates all the exits' numbers of the station, readers can locate which exist they should go to for getting closer to their destination.Besides the Central Tokyo maps, it covers all 23 wards in Tokyo including: Adachi-ku, Arakawa-ku, Bunkyo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku, Edogawa-ku, Itabashi-ku, Katsushika-ku, Kita-ku, Koto-ku, Meguro-ku, Minato-ku, Nakano-ku, Nerima-ku, Ota-ku, Setagaya-ku, Shibuya-ku, Shinagawa-ku, Shinjuku-ku, Suginami-ku, Sumida-ku, Taito-ku, and Toshima-ku. The atlas also inlcudes helpful supplemental indexes for looking up Hotels and Inns, Embassies, and Airlines locations. Overall, this is a MUST-HAVE for tourists walking & shopping around in Tokyo.

Don't come to Tokyo without this book!,
This review is from: Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide (Paperback)
We've been in Tokyo for four days, and will be here for another week. The "Tokyo City Atlas" has been invaluable. Having an English translation for street names, and significant buildings marked, and the subway-station exits numbered, has eased our lives.Having the _block numbers_ (which are consistently marked at every street corner) makes the difference between . . . "where am I?" and . . . "I know where I am!". On the large-scale maps, the scale is large enough for easy navigation while walking the streets. With this book (which includes a map of the Tokyo subway and rail systems) and the "Lonely Planet" guide to Japan, you're set. Charles
