Lonely Planet Japan

I just returned from a six-week solo visit to Japan. My trip was planned almost entirely in reliance upon this great guide. I used this guide extensively to choose the cities and towns I would visit and the sites I would see there. This was the foundation of the trip and the book was solid in this regard. I credit the book with sending me to one great place after another. No regrets at all.I used the book to a lesser extent in making inn and hotel reservations. It was fine in that regard, although some of the smaller inns were closed or would not accept solo guests. Japanese hotels and Inns usually charge by the guest and small Inns lose money when a solo traveler takes up one of the rooms that can accommodate two or more, so I get it. So I sometimes ended up staying in random business hotels. When I did stay where the guide suggested, it was great.The directional guidance was good when I used it, and the maps are adequate, but Google maps is more useful on the ground. Google maps will give you train and bus information as well as roads.I cannot comment on the food guidance, as I just chose random restaurants. And I cannot comment on the night life advice as my body adopted an early to bed and early to rise rhythm and I didn't fight it.So, thank you Lonely Planet for playing a big part in an amazing trip to an amazing country. And most of all thank you to Japan and the Japanese people.

Quick delivery

I travelled a few times with Lonely Planet so I recommend. This guide is nearly 700 pages so I am sure my trip will be a success and I am grateful for it.

O produto foi entregue bem rapidamente. Usamos para planejar uma viagem ao Japão. É muito útil por ter roteiros sugeridos já por tema ou por quantidade de tempo, que é possível ajustar às nossas preferências. Ajuda bastante também a identificarmos hospedagem adequada (quase sempre preferimos pousadas ou guesthouses com mais personalidade e com a "cara do dono", ao invés de hoteis. O Lonely Planet é o melhor guia para isso, com opções para orçamentos variados). O mesmo se aplica a lugares onde comer e sugestões de pratos, além de algumas dicas de lugares a visitar e coisas a fazer que nos aproximam das populações locais e passam ao largo do turismo mais convencional.

Fabuloso, como todas las guías de Lonely Planet. Te llevan de la mano!
