Rocky 5.0 out of 5 stars I bought my first copy almost 27 years ago for a five-week backpacking trip to Japan and left it with a Japanese friend who was so impressed he asked to keep it. Much more recently, I found a used copy which I ended up giving to a guy thinking about visiting Japan. So I bought another one. The content is obviously dated but this book captures the spirit of the country remarkably well. It also offers an amazing level of detail and insight. I've visited Japan at least six times and highly recommend this excellent guidebook (memo Moon Publications: How about an updated edition?)Not only for cultural incites and travel advise, but also that it is amazingly detailed from a travel perspective. The things you will really want to see are covered here, all of which tie in with the deep and rich history of Japan.

I bought the 1988 update when I was in college and though I have not traveled extensively in Japan, this book I know for certain gives much of what you need to know. The cost figures can be ignored, but that can be filled in via internet searches. For anyone wanting to learn about Japan and especially someone traveling in Japan, this book is a must.One of the greatest strengths of this reference guide is its ability to provide an accurate perspective on the nation without getting trapped in the stereotypes of other travelling guides. The analyses of each prefecture (state or province) of Japan are remarkably rich in information, particularly cultural details. The author leads the reader off the beaten path of normal tourist attractions which many guides or websites put too much emphasis on. Rather, you explore tiny hamlets and isolated towns usually neglected by foreigners to savor the real Japanese experience. The time and effort J.D. Bisignani puts into pointing out particular buildings or sites of interest - even if they are as miniscule as a small roadside shrine or quaint teahouse - truly pays for the price of the guide itself. It is difficult not to stress the value I gleaned from the Japan Handbook. I remained in Japan for a little over a month, and the Handbook granted me insight into a foreign culture that I would otherwise have been without. Along with the expected summaries of hotels, restaurants and attractions, this guide covers essential points oft forgotten. Appropriate haiku or other poetry usually begin each chapter, as do the delicate drawings. The cultural notes included amongst the numerous chapters are especially important for the first-time visitor to an area and can save major embarassments. Compared to some other guides, the Japan Handbook might be a bit pricey. However, it makes up for the difference with rich descriptions and numerous tidbits ranging from local stories and legends to maps.

How to Choose A Japan Travel Guide Book by Rob Dyer How Do You Choose The Best Japan Travel Guide. So, in that sense, there can be no definitive 'best' guide book. It all depends on your personal perspective, needs and preferences. Some of us absorb information when it it presented visually, others prefer to read lengthy text, whilst many prefer a combination of the two. The Rough Guide to Japan Using Amazon's 'Look Inside' Feature They all have their strengths (and weaknesses), take a look at them all if you can. Using Amazon's 'Look inside' feature can be really handy here (if it is available on the book you are looking at then the words 'Look inside' with an arrow pointing down appear directly above the top of the book cover photo). If you've not used it before, you simply click on the book cover and it opens up and you can literally look inside to see example content, and judge if you like the content, design, and any useful features like maps, etc.
READ: How To Travel in Japan Without Speaking Japanese My First Travel Guidebook To Japan The way I chose my first travel guide book to Japan (in 2008) was to do some initial research on the internet and read customer reviews on Amazon.com for the various guides. That whittled down the candidates for me to just two: Lonely Planet and The Rough Guide. To help me make the final choice between them I went into a bookshop and picked up and had a short read through both publishers' editions. I could also have borrowed both from my local library and taken my time making my decision. Maybe that's an option for you. Ian Wright and the Lonely Planet TV Show I fondly remember an episode of the first season of Lonely Planet (now Globe Trekker ) TV show dedicated to Japan. What I liked most about it was instead of focusing on Tokyo and the other obvious destinations, reporter Ian Wright started in the capital and then made his way to the very end of the southern chain of the archipelago. Ending up in the Yaeyama islands. (This episode dates back to 1994 - which I still have on video tape!) DK Eyewitness Japan Guide Rough Guide vs Lonely Planet The thing that immediately struck me was that the Lonely Planet guide was more attractive to look at than The Rough Guide. The maps in the Lonely Planet guide were more detailed than those in their competitor's and looked more practically useful. I imagined that if I was somewhere in Japan I'd never been to before, and had The Rough Guide maps in front of me, they wouldn't have been much help on the ground. Lonely Planet had more photos and more colour than The Rough Guide too. It also had heavier stock paper.As an added bonus, this can be combined with their free shipping threshold - click the button below for more information.Neither were pocketable, they were quite hefty reference books. Both were priced pretty much the same too. All of that was interesting, useful and good to know.
However, the key determining factor for me was in reading them. The Trick I Use To Make The Final Choice If you are in a position to, read entries about places you already know and see how their description of them tallies with your own real-life experience. If you've never been to the country before, then simply pick up a guide book either to a country you have been to, or even for the country in which you live. Frommer's Japan Guide Then turn to read about a place (town, city, region, resort, whatever) you know and see how that description meets your experience and knowledge of the place. I recall the Lonely Planet guide saying that one of the highlights of a visit to Kobe was to explore the Harborland district in the evening, where attractions like the Kobe Tower, Meriken Park are lit up at night in a colourful display. But, having been there several times before, I knew that in the evening the area can be quite desolate and that the only real reason people do go there at night is to go to a restaurant or the multiplex cinema. Not exactly ground-breaking experiences. Whereas, of the same location, The Rough Guide described it more accurately, pointing out that in the evening there was less to attract the passing visitor. A Gaijin's Perspective Don't make the mistake of thinking that guide books written only by locals are better than those written by, or with input from, foreigners (aka gaijin in Japan). A foreigner’s perspective is often invaluable, particularly if they are well-travelled. They can often have the advantage of being able to draw on more extensive travel experience in other countries, and regions within the same country, giving them additional perspective and insight. This enables them to draw valuable comparisons or highlight useful contrasts. How To Compare Your Shortlisted Books Confirming this wasn't personal bias, friends of ours who were using the Lonely Planet guide specifically went to Harbourland based on that guide's description.
Having visited there they came to the conclusion that, nice as it was, it was a waste of one of their few free evenings. Important stuff when every day in Japan is precious. I did the same comparison for several other places I knew, and yielded similar results. I felt that, at the research stage, Lonely Planet possibly looked like it contained more useful practical information. But based on my years of experience of travelling in Japan, I could see that much of it would be redundant pretty quickly and wouldn't reward repeat use as much as The Rough Guide would. Get the Lonely Planet Guide Don't make the mistake of thinking that guide books written only by locals are better than those written with input from foreigners. Whereas The Rough Guide was less detailed on such things but better at conveying the essence, the style, the 'feeling' of a place. Essentially, what it feels like when you are actually there. And, crucially, 'there' more as a local than a 'tourist'. To me the Lonely Planet guide seemed possibly better suited to those who had never been to Japan and who like to have a lot of detail and specifics around the logistics of booking accommodation, flights, sites, etc. I also felt their maps would be more helpful in finding your way when compared with the minimalist, almost oblique maps in The Rough Guide (remember, I'm referring to the 2008 editions here). If You Just Want Facts Use Wikipedia But, I also felt that the Lonely Planet guide would be far less useful on repeat visits. The Best For 'Insider Information' What I was looking for in a guide was more along the lines of 'insider' information, personal recommendations, off-the-beaten-track tips, etc. Fewer facts, more opinions. (If I want facts I'll look on Wikipedia!) The book that delivered what I was after was The Rough Guide to Japan. It didn't matter to me that the maps in it were basic and not much help.
The first thing I ask for when visiting any tourist information centre (or ryokan or hotel ) is for any maps they have of the local area. These are way better than anything you'll find in any guide book. A seemingly incomprehensible, often kaleidoscopic, barrage of cryptic symbols awaits the foreign traveller who doesn’t speak or read the language. I’ve been exploring Japan since 2000 and I’ve picked up plenty of tips along the way. I’ve distilled decades of my experience into this ebook for you. This practical Guide and Workbook covers all the essential basics you need to ensure your first (or next) trip to Japan is as Amazing as you deserve it to be. Preview what's inside by CLICKING HERE. They are also a handy place to keep flat mementos of travel ephemera such as tickets, flyers, leaflets, etc that you'll pick up on your journeys. Which, if you're anything like me, you'll collect hundreds of;-). In fact, it could be argued that if you need to then it isn't the right guide for you. The occasional natural disaster or social upheaval aside, the basics don't change very often. Particularly in a country as well-developed as Japan. So I simply ordered the new one online. As an added bonus, this can be combined with their free shipping threshold - click the button below for more information.Some have been completely re-written, others changed little or not at all (but justifiably so). Information about some places has been dropped, replaced by new entries. Incidentally, at the moment, I see the Lonely Planet title is the most popular guide in Amazon's Japan Guide Book category. Proving that, in spite of my fondness for The Rough Guide, this is whole process is about personal viewpoint and preferences. Spotting Shortcomings The only shortcomings I've spotted since using it relate to the index. Whilst many towns (in particular) are included in the guide they do not appear in the index. This makes quickly finding them inside the guide more difficult that it should be.
It wouldn't have added too much to the length of the index to include the significant places. To read about them as it is, you have to navigate to the more general region, etc entry and find it from there. Also, although there are fewer pages than the 2008 edition (880 now compared with over 1,000 then) the book is noticeably thicker than its earlier edition. I guess that's what you get with thicker paper. So, that was my original and recent experience of choosing what, for me, is the best guide book to Japan. Tastes, preferences and needs differ. Your needs may be indeed be different, meaning a different guide is better suited to you. But, however you choose, choose wisely, and you'll have an invaluable resource that rewards your adventures in Japan for years to come. Where To Buy: Amazon vs Wordery Amazon is usually my first port of call for researching and usually purchasing books. The customer reviews alone are a really valuable and time-saving resource.

Japan From A to Z: Mysteries of Everyday Life Explained What are the black trucks blasting out martial music. When meeting someone on business, how and when should you bow. Why is a cup of coffee so expensive in Japan. Why don't Japanese pour their own drinks. Why do Japanese trains stop around midnight.Japan From A to Z is one of the better ones. In it you will find answers to almost 300 questions that first -time visitors and even residents ask about daily life in Japan. Even after having lived in Japan for several years I found a lot of answers that had so far eluded me. A fun read. Much of the information is based on surveys and statistics that are a few years old now, but that doesn't alter the validity of the answers. Whether you prefer traveling around the world or staying close to home, this story of two women, Etsuko and Mary, zigzagging from Hokkaido to Okinawa will astound and move you. Soon after quitting their jobs in Tokyo, they fly to Cape Soya, Hokkaido. On May 9, 2001, they start walking until August 10, 2002, the date they arrive in Yonaguni, Okinawa. Despite encountering multiday rainstorms, heavy blizzards, and scorching heat, they never once accept the offer of a comfortable car ride.
Along their trip, they faced discrimination, road accidents, arguments and more, but they never gave up their traveling dream. Mary King, the author, writes honestly and descriptively. Readers feel her terror after becoming lost at night in the countryside, her remorse after leaving her lover behind while fleeing from an oncoming bear, and her bodily pain after developing blisters, sunburns, and other physicals ailments from the stress of the trip. Conversely, we are treated to the joys of the beautiful Japanese countryside from cherry blossoms to sunsets to sacred shrines to the unexpected generosity of complete strangers in Japan. Japan on Foot is more than a journey of crossing a country; it is a story of the love between two people and the country in which they have decided to live. As our eyes travel across the 226-page book, Mary and Etsuko limp, amble, or stride through rice fields, into World Heritage Sites, and along hectic, modern highways. We feel we are traveling with them into the nooks and crannies of a nation that is constantly changing, a culture that encompasses much more than the stereotype of Japan Inc. Welcome to the good, the bad, the ugly, and the sublime aspects of Japan. Their path zigzagged because they wanted to investigate Japanese myths, observe disappearing cultural events, meet amazing Japanese people, and to immerse themselves in areas of exceptional beauty. The paths they chose avoided the typical must-see locations (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka) of Japan in favor of lesser-known or, more accurately, barely-known spots. They visited tombs in Aomori and Ishikawa in which, locals claim, the bodies of Jesus and Moses are resting. On Oki Island, they watched Japanese bullfighting. At Fukuyama city's Human Rights and Peace Museum, they learned about centuries of discrimination against the burakumin, a minority group within Japan, In Chiran city, they studied why Japanese youth became kamikaze pilots during World War II.
Between descriptions of ten-hour-or-longer daily walks, Mary shares with readers her experiences and insights with many controversial Japanese topics: gender issues, the Ainu, suicide in Japan, nationalism, island disputes and others. Along the way, they discussed life and interacted in other ways with thousands of people. Japan on Foot is a guide to the unknown, the unusual, the bizarre, the inspirational, and sometimes the simple day-to-day life of average Japanese people who live in areas of Japan that are not famous. Don't expect to get a list of suggested hotels or where to find the best ramen. Expect to learn what is off the mainstream tourist path. The only problem that I could find with the book is a lack of great photographs. The quality of the black and white images does not match the writing. However, Mary also wrote the Japan on Foot blog, which has numerous color photos. Fine Line Press published Japan on Foot in 2011. The e-book came out in 2014.Black and white with colour plates. After a few temple-visiting days, its back to Tokyo then on home. Mission accomplished.poorly. If you want to see and experience much more than the basics, if you want the freedom to get inside the country, Japan By Rail is an excellent help. It will provide you with explanations of the train systems, how and which tickets to buy (with discounts thrown in), where to go and what to see, and infinitely more. With all of the information and little-known insights given about Japan, this should in no way be considered a book regarding only trains and train travel. It is an excellent travel guide in its own right, although hotel coverage has few specifics. Still, early in the book there is a good explanation of the various types of lodging available, whether it be ryokans, minshukus and pensions, airbnb, or various types of hotels on the cheap or with no discernible upper spending limit. Numerous websites are listed to help even further.
Although much of this book is geared to people not living in Japan, the ex-pat living in Japan can pick up lots of useful information, but will still have to make do with the Seishun Juhachi Kippu. There is ample information which even jaded, know-it-all expats living in Japan will find very useful. In the early pages of this beefy book are lists (with beautiful pictures) of the best shrines, temples and castles, the best places to see and the best experiences. There are no pictures between pages 29 and 525, but there are plenty of maps to break up the pages. The reader will read more than 100 pages of general information before hitting the spot where specific areas of the country are discussed. By then, a lot of ground has been covered. One of the bonuses of this book is that it is long enough and detailed enough to give you some ideas of off-the-beaten-track sites and experiences. There are many little-known places of interest in Japan, and this book lets you in on some of the secrets. In Shingo, Aomori Prefecture, for example, the locals believe that their city contains the burial site of.Jesus Christ. There is more than half a page of the hows and whys of this belief. The only possible criticism of the book concerns the maps. Some maps are a bit redundant, and the markings on some maps of what is a shinkansen line, what is a suggested JR route and what are other JR routes are difficult to distinguish. For city maps, most notably Tokyo, Nara and Kyoto, there is no grid on the edges of the map to help readers locate something. A case in point; the Imperial Palace East Gardens are listed at spot 30 on the Tokyo map, but there is no C-4 (for example) to help you narrow down where exactly spot 30 is on the map. Still, if you are coming from outside Japan, this is quite possibly the best single book you can bring.
Among the notable contributors are Alex Kerr of Lost Japan fame, who explores Kyoto and Nara, film critic Jeanette Amano introduces Japanese cinema and The Japan Times ' Wayne Graczyk provides the baseball insight. Well-researched though brief travel specifics on accommodation, transport and language with a definite nod to the more up-market traveller round out the book. Recommended for visitors and residents alike. The guide makes for a must-read for first-time visitors to the capital as well as excellent additional reference for Tokyo residents looking for somewhere new. Recommended. Packed with excellent photography and clear maps (as you would expect from an Automobile Association guide), the book is a well-organized, brief introduction to the main sights of the country. Fuji, onsens, castles and Zen. Recommended. This extremely funny book is the result. If you already know Dave Barry's brand of humour, you won't need a recommendation to get this book. If you aren't familiar with him, but enjoy chuckling, and want some insights into what to expect on a visit to Japan, then I highly recommend this book. While much of the humor is based on the many differences between Japanese culture and behavior, it is in no way anti-Japanese, and pokes fun at American cultural assumptions just as much. There is only one small break in the non-stop humor of the book, and that comes when he writes of his trip to Hiroshima and his reaction to the Japanese sense of victim hood surrounding the atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Getting from A to B can sometimes mean not just changing trains, but changing railways. As well as a country map, there are maps of regions, 20 city maps, maps of the major sightseeing areas, Rail, Road, Subway, and Air route maps, and a series of thematic maps ranging from National Parks to Hot Springs to Bird Watching areas.
