Great help. Although there are plenty of free maps in the country, all over H.I.S and hotels and other places, this was a great tool to plan my schedule beforehand (I admit that it was overwhelming before going, seemed all too difficult. It was, but not that much XD Too bad I couldn't use it in Yokohama, I left it in the hotel :( It has a good size. Very recommended!

This was the perfect book (and foldout map!) to have for navigating Tokyo's rail system. It has all the information you need and is well organized. I used it extensively during a recent 7 week trip.
