The essential travel guide to Tokyo, this book offers everything you could ever need to know about visiting the city.

If you’re heading to Tokyo, what should you take with you? Which airport should you travel to? How will you make yourself understood in a restaurant if you cannot speak a word of Japanese? And what do you need to know about how to dress and behave in public spaces?

This comprehensive and hugely entertaining tourist manual, The Tokyo Tourist Survival Guide by Matthieu Pinon, helps you get the very best out of your visit, by enabling stress-free solutions to all the questions that travellers face. It covers everything from what and where to eat, to a selection of basic phrases that will help you get by. It explains how to buy a bus ticket, how to use the metro system, and even what you can expect from going to a record shop, a karaoke bar, or a pet café.
