Lonely Planet Pocket Tokyo: top sights, local life, made easy (Travel Guide) Paperback – 14 Aug. 2015

Bought this for my trip to Tokyo, as I didn't want to carry my Japan guide (also LP of course) with me on a daily basis. I own around 20 LP travel guides, including several pocket guides and they are doing a fantastic job. They are very handy, contain all the necessary information, as well as some handy maps and insider tips. The most useful tip from the guide was to go up the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for amazing (and free!) views over Tokyo and even Mt Fuji on a clear day - instead of using Tokyo Tower or the Sky Tree. I used both maps (normal map and subway network) on a daily basis and cannot report any inaccuracies. I would definitely recommend the guide to anyone planning to visit Tokyo.

Great tips and suggestions for day plans, good vocab for a holiday. It has helped us decide what to do on our stay and I can't wait to go to Tokyo even more now! Would recommend.

Really handy guide, especially for giving you information about the subway exits for the popular attractions. The Tokyo subway system is huge so knowing which exit you want at each station is very useful. The maps really only give the main street names, so we tended to use google maps to plan our route instead. The book doesn't weigh very much so will easily fit into your rucksack or handbag.

Really excellent guide - followed lots of the routes and activities and they were exactly as described. Maps are not always the easiest to follow but I can live with that (and google maps).

a good mini guide light weight to carry around in your pocket or bag had all major attractions listed and nice subway map which is very useful

This book was bar far the most useful guide to Tokyo I've ever used! Handy size and the information about subway exits was invaluable.

This is a superb guide and was very helpful to get the most out of a city visit.

This was brilliant and we found it extremely helpful on our recent trip. Even though it is small, it contained far more information than the DK (not-pocket-sized) travel guide.
