Japan Travel Guide: Things I Wish I'D Known Before Going to Japan (2025)

A good read before you travel with some helpful information

Provides a good summary of what to do in Japan and what not to do. How ever some bits were missing like having a.bag to take your rubbish away. But Overall a concisw read

I got this for a friend whose dream is to visit Japan and she thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread. If you are a Prime member you can borrow the digital version for free, if that helps you when deciding whether or not to purchase the physical copy.

Although very informative, not enough maps and all images are in black and white.

My nephew loved this as it was part of a gift for his travels to Japan

I bought this book because I thought it would less dense than a Frodder's or Lonely Planet Guide and only focus on the BEST things to do in Japan and have a more folksy tone - like a good tour guide (a tour guide wrote this book.) Problem is it's way too sparse. Sometimes there's only a sentence on a page with a black and white photo. I read the entire book in an hour. It's a very difficult book to navigate. There's few chapter headings and the layout is confusing. As a reader, I didn't know what part of Japan the cities he spoke about were - the book didn't contain a map of Japan. Truly, this book was a disappointment.

This book is a great snapshot of Japan which includes various places in Japan, when to go, what to see, highlights, costs and secret hidden gems!Definitely worth a read!

very poor quality
