1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Pocket Tokyo, 2nd Edition: The All-in-One Guide to the Best of the City Packed with Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Explore (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)

I got this book immediately upon its release. Quite a bit of information in the book is wrong, and the lack of good directions and maps made this book difficult to use. I would recommend Rick Kennedy's "Little Adventures in Tokyo."

Which is harder: getting around Tokyo, or picking out which guide
book to get? My opinion: the latter. Every one of them has its
own limitations, but this book is short, easy to read, and packed
with useful information. Who cares about slick pages and color
pix--you need quick summaries of what's where, and how to get
there. That's what you'll find in this book. Errors? I didn't
find any. Maps? There are some helpful black and white
diagrams of a few parts of town, but you definitely should
get a separate, detailed atlas (try Tokyo City Atlas:
A Bilingual Guide, published by Kodansha International).
