Book Description

19 Jan 2005 Bilingual Guide
This is the updated third edition of an atlas first published in 1998. During the past six years, the transportation network of the metropolitan area of Tokyo has changed a good deal. In the case of the subway system, lines have been extended, and some rapid-transit lines have been added, so code numbers for each station are given in our atlas for foreign travelers to identify them easily. In addition, as a result of urban development in areas such as Roppongi, Shinagawa, and Shiodome, quite a few new company buildings, stores, and hotels have appeared. These developments are also covered in this updated edition.
- 21 area maps of Metropolitan Tokyo (42 pages) showing not only chome numbers but also block numbers (banchi).
- 18 detailed maps of Central Tokyo (30 pages) to guide the reader even to numbered subway station entrances.
- An additional 7 maps of central Yokohama and Kawasaki and access maps to 3 U.S. military bases (Yokosuka, Yokota and Zama).
- Comprehensive index: More than 3,600 entries of town and station names, as well as major organizations and buildings, provide the user with easy access to all destinations.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only one you'll need? 28 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a first time tourist going to Tokyo and I found the guide to be extremely user friendly. Everything is listed very detailed and in colour. Even the subway system was covered, and I found it rendering the other subway guide I got pretty useless.

Probably the only gripe I have is that it only does it's job as an atlas guide and nothing more. No intro or extra info of the city and places, or tips on how the address system works in Japan and how you should go about finding your way around.

But all in all, a pretty satisfying buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bilingual map of Tokyo - Essential 12 April 2007
Format:Paperback
I have been based in Tokyo for the last four years and have used extensively both the second and third editions of this book. I've also recommended this book to other expats and visitors coming to Tokyo for a reasonable length of time and had them find it useful and write positive reviews.

As noted by other reviewers, this is only a book of maps (streets, trains, subway) covering central "greater Tokyo" (i.e. more than inside the Yamanote line, but certainly not all 23 wards). You will need a guide book in addition - personally I'd recommend Lonely Planet, but that's just a personal preference.

This is a book for walking and travelling round Tokyo it is not really a driving atlas. It will help you find Tokyo landmarks and addresses (at least down to the right block - which is all you can expect...) but it is not particularly well arranged for driving round the city.

If you are coming to Tokyo for more than a couple of days I would recommend adding this book to your bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIFE SAVER!!! YAAAAY! 13 Dec 2007
By Plato
Format:Paperback
This map book was amazingly fantastically useful. When I went to Tokyo knowing no Japanese other than hello, good bye, and excuse me (not the easiest way to go to Japan believe me. learn a few more phrases than that before you go). Firstly the city map: brilliant very detailed, every building is numbered and allot of them are labelled with what they are (allot)for example shopping centres that are not even in the travel guides and things that are like the Sony building. very very useful when trying to get your bearings when you walk out of a subway station in Gina. the city map is very accurate and reliable. secondly the subway and rail maps, these where superb simply pointing to the station that you wanted to get to on the map is allot more useful than doing the old British thing of saying the word loudly slowly but still pronouncing it completely wrong. Used this part of the book everyday extremely useful. whatever you do if this is your first time going to Tokyo don't go without a bi-lingual map believe me when I say you will regret it if you only have an English map on you when you get there. it makes asking directions so much easier and the Japanese appreciate that you have something in there language. Money that you couldn't spend any better, and of this if your first time in Tokyo money that you need to spend. Buy this book, your gonna need it!!!!
