Buona guida con un'ampia panoramica della città e dei dintorni. Tuttavia, mappe non molto ampie e un aggiornamento risalente a 7 anni fa non mi permettono di dare più di tre stelle.

Generally I like the Time Out travel guides when I visit another country. Decent maps but more important good writers. Or writer. I am not sure if there is a whole bunch of people in Shibuya writing this guide in some weird Japaense coffee shop or not. But overall I pretty much trust them. They have an understanding of the culture and the recommended walking tours are always good as well.

My dream is to write my own Tokyo travel guide, and I almost did, but alas and with a sigh it didn't happen. Although the future is just seconds away...

We looked at a lot of travel books before our trip to Tokyo, but this was the one we ended up purchasing. Lots of great recommendations and helpful maps.
