5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, up-to-the-minute guide for restaurants & clubs, April 16, 2002

By	Dianne "gypsie" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This little book won a spot in my bag every day I was in Tokyo, and that is the best of compliments when you are out exploring a city all day and want to travel light. I used it mostly for restaurants and it never steered me wrong. I quickly tossed my copy of Zagat Tokyo because it is biased to the most expensive places, TokyoQ has excellent listings in all price ranges organised by type of food. Dining is a huge part of the Tokyo experience and it's worth seeking out great restaurants. A couple of the places I chose from this book were a bit out of the way but well worth it.

Directions are not always given, which annoyed me until I accepted the fact that the only way to find an address in Tokyo is to find a police box and ask. Apparantly giving directions really is the main purpose of the Tokyo police.

I enjoyed the attention given to modern Architecture, an other main component of the Tokyo experience. I also loved the little sketch of neighborhoods, not a road map but more of a personality map. The sento section is much more extensive than I found elsewhere and an experience not to be missed.

TokyoQ is not an all-inclusive guide book, but it does an excellent job of filling in the gaps left by the others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Escape the Same Old Same Old, March 6, 2002

By A Customer

Tokyo Q ... is an English language web site that covers the cultural scene in Tokyo. This book pulls together many of the reviews and listings published over the years.

It's a small book. The listings do not attempt to be comprehensive, and don't cover the mainstream hotels and restaurants you'll find in the typical guidebooks. It tries to be the guide your friend who's lived in Tokyo for 10 years would write, sharing his favorite places.

There's a photo of a sketch map in the center of the book which explains the neighborhoods of central Tokyo. On a recent business trip, I found this the single most useful two pages in any guidebook (and I bought several). I still needed the others to get around, but now I had a perceptual map of what I was doing.

If you're just going on business, you can probably skip this book. If you have a few days to explore, it's probably worth picking up. Don't miss Rick Kennedy's book, Little Adventures in Tokyo, which is essential for an exploratory newbie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book, March 27, 2001

By A Customer

In addition to the online travel shorts they have published (I think on a weekly base), this is a great little book to carry to Tokyo. It's a quick read (2 hours, so you can read it 6 times over on the flight) with many memorable stories and experiences that made me looking forward to enjoy the city, aside from the typical tourist attractions. This is for those who want to see Tokyo from the insider's view as many hidden gems (restaurants, shops, backalleys) are revealed in this guide. However, this guide could've been even better is it had more points of interest for those ages 17-25, rather than mostly for ages 30+ type of interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off-beat and upbeat
This is a terrific book by literate, droll writers who really love and know the city. It's extremely idiosyncratic, which is part of its pleasure. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Twee Ken Rickety bores us back to the Stone Age.
To the ill-informed, Ken Rickety and his dancing poodles may succeed in presenting Tokyo as wonderfully incomprehensible, just as Dave Barry makes it appear extraterrestrial. Read more
