We are planning to trip to Japan now and it seems that this guide has everything we need to know.

  • Nice title and packed with info
Format: Paperback
This is a very nice travel guide that is packed with information; however, after comparing both the Lonely Planet and the DK Japan travel guides, I think I prefer the layout of the later. The layout of the DK book was easier for me to read.

  • It's completely essential for international travel
Format: Paperback
This was so helpful, especially for finding affordable quality lodging. And the subway map was MVP

  • Sight seeing
Format: Paperback
I was so excited that some places I had heard about on a sleep app were real and I am so excited that I found them in your book. It is well written and we are excited to explore Japan soon with your book guiding us to some amazing places.

  • The one book I still travel with
Format: Paperback
The Lonely Planet is now the only guide I travel with, it's saved my bacon more than once. I always travel with the actual book, it's easier to flip back and forth or highlight. Plus nobody wants to steal a book and it never runs out of battery when you need it the most.
