Summary: Just took this to Japan and it was very helpful
We just travelled in Japan for two weeks and found this book to be very helpful both in pre-planning the trip and on the trip. It is a handy size to carry around. We also took the Lonely Planet guide and we used this one a lot more.

Summary: Great guide book
I have owned this book for 6 years and have used it on my 5 separate trips to Japan. It's a great guide book for my needs. I love the pictures and diagrams of the different cultural sites to see, and it's fun to read. I think it's best for getting a sense of where to go and what to see, and it also contains many interesting tidbits of information & history on each site. I hate the guidebooks that are all black and white text, they are so boring. This is a far cry from those types of guide books. It may not be quite as useful for finding restaurants and hotels and for getting around Japan in general, but I still think it's adequate in these areas. My wife is Japanese so she helps me with that part. But she also loves this book because it has such great summaries and pictures of the different places to see. She has discovered much about her native country thanks to this book! We won't leave for Japan without it.

Summary: Japan by DK books
After having the book for a month, I found that the printing on 2 pages of the index are blurred and very difficult to read.
Otherwise, the book is very informative with excellent photos on good quality paper. Wish the book were lighter in weight though.
When traveling, I'm always concerned about weight.

Summary: Excellent!
I have always liked DK's Eyewitness series of travel books, and "Japan" is consistent with their past quality. Chockful with useful information, and wonderful photographs. I particularly like their suggested "walks" amd maps. I do not use it for hotel selection and local travel details, but more for sightseeing information, cultural information, food, and such.
