Tuttle Travel Pack Tokyo

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Packed with up-to-date, thoroughly researched information written by locals, the Tuttle series of Travel Packs are indispensable companions on your global travels. The portable size and straightforward format make them easy to use for everyone, no matter if you’re a regular or first-time visitor to the city.

In the front of the book, we give you a brief overview of Tokyo, taking a look at its people, language and climate, then Chapter 1 covers Tokyo’s ‘Don’t Miss’ Sights, detailing the top 13 places to visit and things to do—from taking in the frenetic early morning auctions at Tsukiji Fish Market and exploring the modern Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown complexes to soaking in the hot spring baths at Oedo Onsen Monogatari and hiking up Mount Takao.

In Chapter 2, we take a more detailed look at the incredibly varied neighborhoods that make up Tokyo, starting with a day out that takes in the upmarket Ginza district and nearby Imperial Palace and ending up with a day on the family-friendly man-made island of Odaiba in Tokyo Bay. In between, we go from the chic Omotesando-dori and youthful Shibuya to the more traditional Asakusa and Yanesen districts, and more. We also explore several not-to-miss areas within day-trip range of Tokyo, including the ancient shrines and temples of Kamakura, the lavish Tosho-gu Shrine in Nikko and the popular hot spring resort of Hakone.

In Chapter 3: Author’s Recommendations, our Tokyo-based author makes his picks for the city’s best hotels and restaurants, top kid-friendly activities, best places to shop, must-see galleries and museums, and more. Lastly, the Travel Facts section presents all you need to know before you go, including the low-down on visas, health and safety advice, important points of etiquette, useful Japanese and a lot more to help take the stress out of your time in the world’s most mesmerizing capital.

While all information is correct at time of print, do make sure to check ahead if you plan to visit any of the venues listed within, as places tend to frequently open and close, especially in a city that has a history of transforming itself as often and rapidly as Tokyo. As such, the publisher cannot accept responsibility for any errors that may be contained within the Travel Pack.
