This guide is exactly what I was looking for. In my preparations for my trip to Japan, I wanted a book that would give me concise suggestions about the must-see/eat things for a trip to the main areas of Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto mostly). This book does exactly that in a small 170-page form factor that makes it very easy to carry with you during your trip. I borrowed the Japan guides from Frommer’s and Lonely Planet from the library, and while those are great for someone who wants a literal encyclopedia-style travel guide with extensive maps, lists, reviews, historical explanations, and everything, I ain’t got no time to read all that! Don’t expect beautiful full color sweeping vista pictures of Japan in this book (although there are a few small pictures). If you want that, pony up the $50 for the giant guides.Tom Fay really seems like he knows what he’s talking about, and writes well. I love that on some of the first few pages he outlines, very simply, suggested itineraries for a one or two week trip to Japan (by recommending how many days to spend in each city/area). Those seem like the most common trip lengths for 80% of people. The book clearly highlights the “must-do’s” in asterisks and secondary priorities in bold, making it very easy to pick out things. It also still includes a little bit of extra content in a concise manner, with things like best day trips outside of Tokyo/Kyoto, and a “If you have more time” chapter that includes a quick page or two on other regions of Japan to explore. Plus, Tom includes links to websites for almost all sections in case you really do wanna do more extensive research on particular items. Very up-to-date (2017), wonderfully simple, and priced right! A great book for planning a trip to Japan.

MustSee Japan The complete insider guide to seeing the best of Japan in one trip eBook Tom Fay Reviews
I read this on my computer kindle app, and it was a quick and easy read to flip through with must see things clearly highlighted and some interesting "off the beaten path" type things. I appreciated the food recommendations as well as the notes on whether or not the city was reachable using just the JR-pass, time and time you need to spend there. I googled most of the places, which could have been nice to have included with the text, but it's still very nice as-is!
When traveling to another country, I never quite know where I'm going to go, and I feel like I've missed a lot because of that. This book gives great recommendations about so many different places to visit. It takes into account the time you might be spending there and the money you might be willing to spend. Helpful tips about culture, language, food, and travel in general. Highly recommended resource for your trip!
A lot of other guides can be overwhelming but this one was to the point and the recommendations were good. I loved the sushi restaurant Tom recommended in Tsukiji Market; it was the best meal we had in our 2 week trip to Japan. Thanks Tom!
As someone who's lived in Japan for a while, there've been parts of the country I've always wanted to visit, but never had the time or patience to research thoroughly. This guide provided a concise, helpful overview of all of the major areas that are recommended for travelers, including must-see places and a break-down of the transportation options.
Also has a section of recommendations for people who can only be in Japan for a few days as well! For a great price, this book will save you many hours of researching on the net!
I used Tom Fay's essential guide to Japan while planning my July 2016 trip to Japan. The information is up to date and has essential tips for etiquette in Japan, onsen instructions, eating, using public transportation, tipping rules and much more. The author included links that will direct you to official sites with more information and a resource page which is very helpful. The book has an excellent itinerary for visiting famous spots of Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Kyoto. My wife and I are planing on visiting places that are outside of the usual tourist stops and I'm using this book's recommendations for visiting the Tohoku region of Japan. Overall, this is a very concise and handy guide that I can use before and while I'm travelling in Japan in the near future.
A book that does just what I want - pick some highlights and give detail on them. Lengthy restaurant, lodging, timetables etc just fatten up a book unnecessarily in the internet age, and they are wisely omitted. I wanted the text equivalent of a friend's suggestions for itineraries, and this is it. The only thing I would add might be some simple maps, even hand drawn a la Rick Steves, to help locate the points of interest without having to get out your phone.
I visited Japan for the first time earlier this year and bought three books to read before going A Geek in Japan, Super Cheap Japan, and this one. If you only want to purchase one then I would choose this because I got the most utility out of it from basic phrases, to specific places to see organized by area, to restaurant recommendations. This book has the perfect amount of content in that it has just enough detail without being overwhelming. If you're willing to go with two books I would also purchase A Geek in Japan because that one provides mostly cultural context and history whereas this one is just a travel guide.
