Packed with expressions and information for everyday occasions (looking for a place to stay, eating at a restaurant, making a telephone call), as well as less common ones (what to do if you become ill or something is lost or stolen), Japanese for Travelers allows you to break out of the role of passive spectator during your time in Japan and allow you to speak Japanese with locals. Helpful illustrations demystify Japan's sometimes intimidating rail system and provide handy information of ferry travel as well. The text offers travel tips ranging from where to go for a cheap, comfortable night's sleep (you'd be surprised) to whom not to stand behind when in line at customs.
