 Frommer's does it again August 28, 2008
I have trusted Frommer's for years. I have never been steered wrong by any of heir publications in over 30 years. This Japan volume continuues in that tradition.
Frommer's Japan July 2, 2008
It is difficult to get really good uptodate travel books about countries in the far east. This book is good but not excellant. Just too many changes taking place especailly in countries like Japan. We found we could rely on information and data about historical landmarks and areas. Hotel and restaurant iformation changes so quickly you may be better off going to the internet.
Very good guide book! May 2, 2008
This is a great guide book. I used it on my very first trip to Japan and it really helped me experience a lot of things that I would have never been able to find or know about on my own. I traveled with a friend that is Japanese and there were things in this book that they didn't even know about. The maps of the cities are also accurate, which is a big help. My other travel partner had another book from a different publisher and it only listed pictures and locations about things to do. It didn't have maps or directions. I think that is what puts this product ahead of the others.
 Bulky and unillustrated December 8, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had high hopes for this guide given Frommer's reputation for quality guidebooks that are slightly more upmarket than Lonely Planet. But, the paper quality is like cheap paperbacks in checkout aisles, there are no illustations/photographs, and the writers insert too much of their personality and preferences in the writing (at times the guide reads like a feminist critique of Japan). And there are few maps, which were difficult to read (colors would have been nice).
 Purchase city travel guides instead November 25, 2007

I bought this book because we were traveling to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. I wish the Kyoto section had more detail, which is why I wish I would have purchased a city specific Tokyo and Kyoto guides separately. Books can get bulky on a trip, but I feel as if I missed a lot buying a Japan only book.
