Everything you ever wanted to know about Japan. Just ask, the answer is here. Ms. Reiber, with Ms. Spencer, have given me the confidence to plan my trip without going through a tour guide. But if I wanted to, that info is covered as well.
Not just hotel and dining recommendations, but maps, history, travel within Japan, passport and visa info, currency conversion rates, useful Japanese phrases, phone and internet procedures, Japanese characters used for some signs (like businesses and subway stops); even the proper way to hold chopsticks and slurp soup with noodles are included in this book!
I already feel as though I can navigate the streets better (which, the book informs, is challenging because most of the streets DON'T HAVE STREET SIGNS) because of the detailed maps supplied.
Huge as this tome is, it's thorough, and I don't think I'll be leaving home without it!
