Tokyo - Jared Lubarsky

Berlitz Pocket Guide Tokyo combines informative text with vivid colour photography to uncover Japan's dazzling capital city. It covers everything you need to know about Tokyo's attractions, from the Imperial Palace and Asakusa Kannon Temple, to the Meiji-jingu shrine dedicated to the founder of modern Japan, and the incredible array of shopping in Ginza. Handy maps on the cover flaps help you navigate, and the book uses colour-coding to differentiate between sections.

To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the city's Top 10 Attractions, followed by an itinerary for suggestions on how to spend a Perfect Day in Tokyo. The What To Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from spectating at a sumo match to catching a shrine festival or watching a kabuki performance.

The book provides all the essential background information, including a brief history of the world's biggest city and an Eating Out chapter covering Japanese cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z of all the practical information you'll need.
