Good brief guide, much easier to carry around than the full Lonely Planet.

[Rhesa]

My guide in all Kanji-Hiragana-Katakana Signboards in Tokyo. Great and information-packed little book...

Bof... :/ Franchement moyen et les cartes sont déplorables et trop peu informées pour se repérer facilement.
