Japan Travel Guide Things I Wish I'D Known Before Going To Japan The Everything Nippon Travel Guide Series Yuki Fukuyama Ken Fukuyama 9781980906506 Books Reviews


  • This book badly needed editing and barely clears the threshold of being a proper book. There are grammatical errors, fonts change randomly, etc. Most disappointing of all, all the pictures that looked so beautiful on-line are printed in black and white and often distorted because they were not formatted correctly for print! Given that the "Look Inside" feature claimed to be showing the print edition, I think this is deceptive advertising by . In terms of content, it is not a travel guide as much as a somewhat random collection of tips. Sure, some of the tips look pretty good, but you will not get by with just this guide. There are very few maps, there is no index, and very scant information on basics, like getting around by train, etc. I am really disappointed and almost sent it back, but my husband had already started marking in it.
  • Decent enough and inexpensive supplemental guidebook with some useful tips, and some not so great.... The maps mostly aren’t legible, so that’s a shame, though you can find most anything online with good resolution now. This should not be your go to book for a trip to Japan, but it can help whittle down destinations if you’re feeling overwhelmed. I wasn’t thrilled with the last 15 pages being excerpts and adverts for other publications, I can see a page or two of other products, not 15. I am also in complete disagreement with one of the bonus tips too, it is suggested in the Kyoto section to skip the Ginkaku-ji (Silver Temple) in favor of the Kinkaku-ji (Gold Temple), they are not “almost the same” and I would argue that anyone with half a soul would prefer the less gaudy and beautifully serene Ginkaku-ji....
  • A great travel guidebook anyone could ever read. I usually used google for guidance during travelling because I thought could find the simplest, easiest, and quickest ways to plan my itinerary but this book is better than any typical travel guidebook on google. It does not simply list things-to-do or must-go-places, it helps you make the most of your trip to the Land of the Rising Sun. Interesting travel tips and exact times for certain areas should be toured are really helpful.
  • This is probably the simplest (in a great way!) and easiest to read travel book I have ever purchased. My favorite thing about this e-book is that it has brilliant pictures that show you the culture and sights in Japan. The book really has all you need for a short getaway to Japan and if you’re feeling overwhelmed in trying to figure out where or how to start planning your Japan trip. I definitely recommend this book if Japan is on your travel list or even if you’re just thinking about going there on day! I’m excited to start planning my trip to Japan soon.
  • Great book, very interesting, good writing and great illistrations. Glad I took the time to read through it. Even though I don't intend to travel to Japan anytime soon I still enjoyed this a lot. It's always nice to have the knowledge available. I especially enjoyed the illistrations in this book, made reading this more enjoyable.
  • This book is just what we need. It will accompany us with Must-See Japan by Tom Fay. I'm disappointed in the Westerner's review of this book as poorly written grammatically with non-color photos. This is a little book written by Japanese natives, not Westerners. The insights and tips are more important than non-essential grammar and flashy photos. The price is cheap by comparison to other travel books and it gives just the information one needs to negotiate Japan - by Japanese tour guides themselves! Bravo!
  • This book provides a light amount of detail on the most important places to visit on a trip to Japan. But it is lacking in 3 important items that I could not believe were missing from a travel guide. There is not a single map of any area discussed or even a map of Japan itself. Second, there are no page numbers?! Third, which goes hand in hand with the lack of page numbers, there is no index of what is in the guide. The Table of Contents list chapters but without page numbers you have to constantly fan through the pages to find a chapter. OK, so I added color coded tabs to everything which made it more acceptable, but why should a reader have to do this? Can't recommend it.
  • Filled with great tips to travel in Japan. This book is not the typical travel guide that simply listed things to do and places to visit with no consideration for travelers who travel on tight or flexible budget. This book gives you tips on how to experience the full fun of Japan as well as gives you estimation on how much it will cost. I recommend it to people who are looking at a complete guide to travel in Japan.
