Great information for gaijins in Japan! Most of the information is the stuff you don't get from regular travel books. It explains what the different symbols on the laundry mean. It tells you where to go to if you need to see a dentist (found an American dentist who has been here a long time and back when he came the rules were a little different -- he had to pass some test in order to set up a practice. They no longer require this test, and from what I understand it is quite amazing that an American/non-Japanese speaking foreigner passed it!) It also has some great tips for sight-seeing, etc.
