Review: Another home run for DK - A must have guide for planning your travel to Japan - Another 5 star hit for DK with this guide. I've come to rely TOTALLY on DK travel guides as my initial planning tool prior to all international travel. Obviously the internet is required to drill down a bit and Trip Advisor or other site when deciding on hotels and a few other things, but for getting oriented and planning, you can't beat this and other DK Guides. For me, if I didn't use this guide prior to "searching the net", I would be spinning my wheels and spending MANY more hours in research time. As is the case with all DK Travel Guides, it is very well organized by region of the country, after providing you with an overview of Japan along with some history and cultural topics. But the meat of the book is in the color coded regional sections that are color coded to a map of Japan. That really helps me fully understand and visualize where in the country they are talking about. Then when you go to each regional section, the guide has numbered points of interest or suggested places to visit that are thoroughly explained and that are keyed to a corresponding number on a road map so once again you know where you are in Japan. And the huge bonus and what sets DK apart from any other travel guide I've used in the past, is the generous use of pictures throughout the guide. When they say "DK shows you what other travel guides only tell you", they are not exaggerating on bit. There are also sections on Where to Eat, and Where to Stay, and while useful, I don't find them a replacement for Trip Advisor or other internet searches for these topics. Frankly, with the thousands of options in a country like Japan, no guide could possibly provide this level of detail. But the places they list give you a few economy to luxury suggestions, which is the best one can expect. Finally, they provide a fairly detailed section of Travel Essentials and thoroughly cover topics such as safety, how to get around on public or private transportation, currency, health and a host of other vital topics one must consider prior to any international trip. I highly recommend this guide.
Review: Japan at your finger tips... - This is a wonderful, practical and easy to use book. It gives you a good introduction about Japanese history, cultural tips, what is good "etiquette", etc. It contains detailed descriptions by region and their areas, a great section on traveler's needs (where to stay, where to eat & drink, shopping, Onsen, Theme Parks, Sports & Activities, Special interests, and a great survival guide with practical information, travel info, a life saving phrase book and a great index, the book provides a "further reading" list for you if you want to read more but honestly, with this much information it should be more than enough for my 3 week trip to Japan. The local maps are well done, they are detailed enough to take you where you need to go, they are not the best but they get the job done. The book also provides you with suggested travel itineraries and what to do/see based on your time availability. The book comes with a detailed map of Tokyo's Subway. Cons? some people complain about the book being "heavy", this book is 1.4 pounds to me that is not a problem and it is clearly described at desertcart's website. So now you know, safe travels!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but Not Great.
*by D***T on June 22, 2017*

Not bad for a guide of the whole country. Usually DK Eyewitness does a horrible job when it comes to a guide for the whole country. They tend to be better when it's a guide for each individual city. There were good info on the main cities if you're a first time visitor: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara. However, the information for Osaka was disappointing. There wasn't much info on that city. There also seem to be some info missing for Kyoto. Although there was a bunch of information on Tokyo, this book doesn't nearly start to cover enough of each of the different wards/districts. There are 23 wards/districts in Tokyo and each of them is like a New York City. The food recommendation section was disappointing as always. I like to collect DK Eyewitness Travel Guides for each place I go to. They have really nice pictures and gives me ideas of what I want to shoot [photography], but that's about it. I got most of my information online. Japan is an amazing country with lots of good food. You have to do your research [and not just from travel guides] in order to get the most out of it.
