Tokyo Close Up

My sister and I were in Tokyo for two weeks and found this book to be the best guide we had for discovering the Tokyo that tourists rarely see. We walked 11 of the described routes and would not have gotten to know nor enjoy the city as well as we did without it. It takes you through the backyards of temples, shrines, neighborhood shopping areas and more, 100% Japanese areas with almost no foreigners. We loved it! We had several other guides along (TimeOut, Travler's Tales: Japan, etc.) but this one had the most comprehensive walking routes; a must if you really want to know the city better than just the tourist attractions. We wish there were more books like this for other cities.
