5.0 out of 5 stars Best Tokyo guidebook I found. Great pull out map. Nice, compact, colorful, May 8, 2009

This review is from: Fodor's Tokyo's 25 Best, 6th Edition (Full-color Travel Guide) (Paperback)

I looked at 3 or 4 guidebooks in the store and walked away with this one as well as a bigger one from Frommers. As it turned out, while I was in Tokyo I never used the Frommers one. This one was better, smaller and had everything I needed.

It's compact, includes a wonderful laminated completely separate city map, a good subway map, and has all the major tourism information I needed. I travel a lot, and prefer Fodors to Lonely Planet, Timeout or Frommers. They seem to have a very good editorial staff who make the books compact, colorful and easy to read.

Whenever I go on a trip, I check to see if Fodor's has a 25 Best book for the location... In general they are great at helping you focus a 1 or 2 day "outing". They are concise, plenty of pictures, location and map info, and formated to easily fit in the back pocket or jacket pocket.

The Tokyo book is no different, however apparently Tokyo is so large and modern that there are not a lot of ancient spots to see. Most of the high points are museums, etc., not what I was hoping for from such an ancient culture. No fault of the Fodor's book I don't think, just the destination. It is my first trip to be able spend time in Tokyo, so take my review with a grain of salt.

I purchased several travel guides for our trip to Tokyo. This one is the most compact yet complete. It describes each section of the city and the major sites. It hits all the highlights and the maps are very clear.
