From dense population centres to Virgin Forests, from traditional homes to modern shopping centres, Japan is a country of contrasts.

This review is from: Japan (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
The purely essential guide to Japan - Dennis Kessler does the fantastic job of illustrating the best way to be a tourist in Japan. Both the writing and the photography is superb, and hard to believe that it's just one man that performed both.I found it easy to read, with very understandable descriptions, and I was truly impressed by the beauty and quality of the photographs. This book is easily equal to the Rough Guide, if not more concise, being a pocket guide.
