Prepare For International Travel
what is a good book to help with preparing to travel to japan?
i will be traveling to japan in early april '07 and i was trying to find a good book about japan to help me prepare for the trip. this is my first international trip. in the past, i have used the dummies books (i.e., hawaii for dummies, etc) and they have been very helpful, however, they do not make one for japan. i went to the book store and i was able to find a couple good books on customs and etiquette of japan, as well as, a basic japanese phrase book. i guess i'm looking for more of a travel guide book (i.e., where to stay, tips on getting around, best cherry blossom sites, etc)....frommers makes a book, but was hoping there was something simpler out there (like the dummies books). i should also mention that i will be spending my time in tokyo. thanks for your help.
i have lived abroad, and traveled all over the place. out of all of the travel books out there, lonely planet is by far the best. it seriously is the traveler's bible. they make them for everything you can possibly think of, and they cover everything. i used them in china, while i was backpacking southeast asia, and all over europe. everyone else i talk to swears by their lonely planet guide books.
