5 out of 5 stars You won't get lost   August 10, 2008
This book is indispensable for anyone spending much time in Tokyo. It got me (and my directionally-challenged spouse) around for several months. It includes the numbers of various exits at subway stops that can save you much aggravation and extra walking. And it has the added advantage that you can read it without looking like you're lost all the time.

This was my "go to" book on our trip to Japan. One of the most useful features was being able to determine which door to take when exiting a subway station -as many of them are huge and have many exits. This saved us a bit of time. The subway/train map was also very helpful.


5 out of 5 stars You need this map if you are going to spend much time in Tokyo   June 4, 2008
Tokyo is a very complex city to get around in. If you are going to be there on your own much, get this. Trust me - you need it. And it is very well done to boot.


4 out of 5 stars Very helpful.   May 31, 2008
You won't get lost with this atlas. The best thing is: all exits from subways are numbered, so you will always find the right way out. I highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Essential and fundamental!!!!!!!   May 26, 2008
Si no quieres andar perdido y poder encontrar las direcciones, por ejemplo la de tu hotel, este atlas es vital, sobre todo hablando de una ciudad tan grande como Tokyo.
Viene en ingles y japones, cosa muy importante (asi puedes pedir a un autoctono que te ayude a encontrar un sitio con el mapa).
Tiene mucha informacion turistica (museos, ryokans, puntos de interes..)
Y sobre todo tiene los numeros de los bloques escritos en el mapa, que es la unica forma de localizar una direccion en una ciudad en la que muchas calles
no tienen nombre.
Resumiendo, si no lo tienes andaras perdido y si lo tienes no.........
