Product Description
Five Great Days in Tokyo is designed for the traveler or business visitor who wants a "pick up and go" travel book that creates a fascinating narrative that gets you beyond the confusion of the pavement and takes you to the pulse and beauty of the city immediately. It provides five individually planned days in an easy to follow, coffee-table quality picture format that can also serve as a reminder of where you've been and what you've seen. Most travel books are like mini-encyclopedias that require cross-referencing and map-checking like a game of three dimensional chess, turning a vacation into a frustrating, logistical battle. Five Great Days leads you along a fascinating way by piecing the sights, food and transportation together for you. It is designed to maximize the time and enjoyment of anyone who has one or more days to spend in one of the world's most fascinating, truly unique metropolitan kingdoms.

This is a jewel! November 11, 2008

This book is a jewel. If you have ever wished you had a friend living in a city who could help you find your way around, suggest the "must sees" and the hidden secrets of the city, and do so in a friendly, humorous, heartfelt way, this book does just that for the challenging city of Tokyo. I found it to be the "Cliffs Notes" equivalent of all the typical 400-800 pages travel books which are so essential to understand a country and its culture before you travel. Buy the Lonely Planet, DK, etc., and then pack this concise, entertaining summary into your purse or back pack to pull it all together and start walking!
I did four out of the five-day guide, with a few detours of my own. (If you are a sushi lover, definitely take the challenge to find the stand-up sushi bar described on page 18. It is one of the best buys in all of Tokyo!) It is obvious the author appreciates the art, architecture, food, and people of Tokyo. You will too if you have time to experience one or all of the "five great days."
