Tokyo Guide 1999 (Open Road's Tokyo Guide)

Tokyo offers soaring castles, peaceful parks and gardens, fabulous modern hotels and restaurants, fun coffee houses, art galleries, and nightclubs. With Tokyo Guide you'll visit the Imperial Palace, the Meiji Shrine, and the Korakuen Garden. At night you'll see the Ginza shopping district or take in a Kabuki performance or Noh play.

You'll learn how to find delicious sushi, department store bargains, where to view authentic woodblock prints, and how to get around town cheaply. And you'll discover Tokyo's best traditional Japanese inns as well as the deluxe and moderately priced hotels. Here are the unexpected pleasures of an early morning tuna auction, where to go for a shiatsu massage, and how to participate in a tea ceremony.

Excursion destinations include the former capital of Kamakura, with its multitude of temples in a lovely seaside setting; Nikko, with its ornate shrines; the port city of Yokohama; and a trip to Mt. Fuji.
