5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must-have, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tokyo: A Bilingual Map = (Tokyo Nikakokugo Mappu) (Paperback)

By far the best and most detailed bilingual map book that I've found. Without it, I would have never been able to find my tiny 'weekly mansion' on an obscure rail line. It lists all the subway lines, rail lines, has a map of the larger train stations, a comprehensive index, and many more things. If you're going to live in Tokyo, you NEED this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT go to Tokyo without it!, September 8, 2005

This review is from: Tokyo: A Bilingual Map = (Tokyo Nikakokugo Mappu) (Paperback)

This map is without doubt the most comprehensive map of Tokyo ever made. It lists every single ward, cho, and chome in the city (though sometimes the numbers are really hard to read). Using it, I was able to find everything I was looking for in the city, with no problems. It folds up really well (once you ditch the index) so you can put it in your pocket. It's easy to write on, and reasonably durable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never get lost in Tokyo, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tokyo: A Bilingual Map = (Tokyo Nikakokugo Mappu) (Paperback)

As a fan of maps in general, this one really impresses me. If you know the address of where you're going, you can pinpoint your location within a few BUILDINGS with this map. It is extremely detailed, of high quality, and aesthetically pleasing as well. Printed on slick paper that stands up to lots of folding and unfolding. A "must have" if you're traveling to Tokyo.
