At one time or another, we all wish that life could be made just a little easier with some guidance by someone who is in the know. This is particularly true in Japan where language, cultural differences and general metropolitan madness can knock us all a bit off balance at times. Wouldn't it be great if there was a resource that could help us find exactly what we're looking for, or better yet, gave tips on how to simplify our lives in ways we couldn't have imagined? This book aims to do exactly that by the selective and collective knowledge of many individuals who know the good from the bad -- and learned it the hard way!. This guidebook is the ultimate insider's living guide for Tokyo's expat community, with information on everything from onsen etiquette to where to find larger-size clothing stores, from family-friendly activities to takeout options for dinner and weekend outings for your visiting in-laws. Listings are based on recommendations and first-hand knowledge or experience. "Tokyo: Here and How" (THH) is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of all the resources in Tokyo. There are numerous other practical publications and websites that aim to achieve this somewhat thankless and easily outdated task. Instead, in THH we strive to provide you with a more customized reference that includes not only the need-to-know basics, but also the inside scoop on the best places to go, people to call and things to do.

Travelers to Tokyo must have this book!,
This review is from: Tokyo: Here and How: An Expat's Guide to Finding Your Path in the City and Beyond. Handbook and Directory. Guidebook. (Spiral-bound)
Tokyo Here and How is not only an easy-to-carry travel guide, it is a must have for anyone attempting to navigate the streets or subways of Tokyo. It is written without favor to the businesses and companies it highlights, so the reader is given accurate information about what is truly the best of Tokyo. This book gives the experienced Tokyolite as well as the novice travler to Tokyo, valuable information about how to navigate this city...from where to buy clothes that will fit, to how to take a bullet train out of the city, to the best places to take your kids for lunch that won't cost an arm and a leg! This book is packed with power, just like the remarkable women at the Tokyo American Club Women's Group who published it!

All the specifics in one place!,

This review is from: Tokyo: Here and How: An Expat's Guide to Finding Your Path in the City and Beyond. Handbook and Directory. Guidebook. (Spiral-bound)
Moving to Japan is the first step in an incredible adventure and this book takes the questions out of visa issues, shopping, living and the best part: traveling. Filled with coupons, fun facts and more information than you could get from any seminar, relocation consultant or stack of books. This book has all the answers whether you will be in Japan for two weeks or two years. If only this had been written before I lived there!

A must have for any expat moving to or living in Tokyo! Lot's of great tips, that take a new arrival years to find. These ladies did their homework and were accurate and detailed. The coupons included with the book take you to some of the best "finds" in Tokyo!
