Completely accessing Tokyo March 24, 2000 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Just prior to the Japanese Bubble Economy, this guide book began to grace the shelves of bookshops here in Tokyo.As a guide book for visitors, the maps were rather too vague for newcomers to the city.At the time, in a review of newly released guidebboks to the city, it did not stack up particularly well in comparison to others, but this guide book, being bilingual, should really be seen as a guide for residents. Although nearly 15 years old, many of the comments are still pertinent, if at times a little opinionated. A good guidebook SHOULD carry some opinion, though. The layout is very stylish, and there is a wonderful emphasis on architecture.Tokyo is not a major tourist destination, so that's probably why it has not been reprinted, but in light of the fact that many people come to live and work in Tokyo for a few years, an updated version of this guide for the 21st Century would be appropriate. I think this is a sorely underrated guide, and although it is not without faults, it should be seen as a guide for residents. You guys at ACCESS, do something about resurrecting this guide!
