This review is from: Fodor's Tokyo, 3rd Edition (Travel Guide) (Paperback)

I have two major complaints about this book, the first is the map. It covers too small of an area and is not detailed enough(missing major streets). The second is the content. The book reads as a bad last minute project by the publishing house. It also has an underlining attitude that one should not expect to be asked to learn Japanese culture during sightseeing, nor be asked to pay a fair price for an item. It is almost as if the book doesn't expect the city to be as civilized and advanced as it is. Don't purchase this book. It was of no use to us on our travels.
