[Nathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nearly a copy-paste of the larger Japan book. Was hoping for more in-depth Tokyo-specific information.

Overall rating: 3.75/5 stars

It's not Rick Steves (heartbroken) but it'll do as a starting point. Would really love self-guided walking tours with "narration" at various points like Rick has.
