Description
Tokyo Stroll is the best guidebook for travellers who want to wander the streets and discover the city as it unfolds before their eyes. There is no "start at point A and go to point B" prescribed route. Instead, you are invited to wander as whimsy takes you. This guide includes:
- Over 600 locations to satisfy any interest, including historical sites, art museums, upscale ryotei dining, traditional craft shops, shrines and temples, and remarkable architecture both traditional and stunningly modern.
- 22 neighbourhoods of Tokyo to experience, from the bright, bustling Shibuya to the serene shrines and temples of lesser-known Yanesen.
150 maps to help you navigate, download the map markers for locations in Tokyo Stroll to your phone or tablet for easy access.
75 full-page photos provide a visual feast of Tokyo's diverse landscapes.
Practical advice on preparing your trip, with information on the best times of year to go, as well as how to use public transport and change money when you get there.
A primer on useful phrases and etiquette so you're never left wondering.
Day trips to get you out of the city with advice on transportation.
A focus on history and businesses that have stood the test of time, often over 100 years.
A glossary of Japanese terms and an index for convenient reference.
