I have found this to be a good book to plan a trip to Japan. I have read this in conjunction with reading another travel guide and websites to ensure I get views from different perspectives, and found it to be useful.

Yes, I like Lonely Planet guidebooks. And yes, you know exactly why I bought this book. Anyway, we used it thoroughly when we went to Kyoto in August, and we plan on going back once or twice in the next few months, so I feel I got my money's worth. (Heck, even if I had never gone to Kyoto, it was worth every penny - it's interesting, informative, and has pretty pictures.) It's fairly extensive, covering pretty much anything you might be interested in show more seeing in Kyoto, and there's a lot! There are also short sections on things to do in Nara, Osaka, Kobe, and Miyama-cho (a small town north of Kyoto), as each is an easy day-trip from Kyoto. show less

Never put in enough Kanji (same with all countries whose languages don't use the western alphabet). Too subjective again. Many new hostels since this published, so go for new one when published (should be soon?)

Nota pratica:3a edizione aggiornata al febbraio 2008 Per il contenuto vale quanto detto per l'edizione precedente: completa, agile e maneggevole.
