An excellent guide to the usual and unusual in Tokyo

Billed as "an insider's guide to the best restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels, shops, sights, and events in Tokyo," this book is a "must have" resource if you are going to spend any time at all in Tokyo. It covers not only the traditional Japanese topics (sushi, antique kimono, woodblock prints, shinto shrines, etc.), but also lists many pleasant surprises that are often overlooked by other sources. These include such diverse topics as best toy store, bird watching, industrial showrooms, cemetery, sleaze pickup bar, flea markets, shoe shop, model trains, and many, many more. The handy size of the book and the easy to use format makes it ideal for planning a long vacation in Tokyo or for dipping into when you only have a few hours to roam the streets in one of the world's most exciting cities.Note that Tokyo changes quickly and therefore some of the places listed will no longer be there, but there is likely to be something equally interesting in their place.
