How To Choose A Japan Travel Guide Book

How to Choose A Japan Travel Guidebook by Rob Dyer

How do you choose the best japan travel guidebook.

Selecting the best guide for you is a little like choosing your ideal partner, or your favourite album of all time – it's a very personal thing.

So, in that sense, there can be no definitive 'best' guidebook. It all depends on your personal perspective, needs and preferences.

Some of us absorb information when it is presented visually, others prefer to read lengthy text, whilst many prefer a combination of the two. Me? I fall into the latter camp – but with a bias towards more text than pictures.

The Rough Guide to Japan

Using Amazon's 'Look Inside' feature

They all have their strengths (and weaknesses), take a look at them all if you can. Use internet research for making comparisons online – saving you the trouble of browsing in a bookshop or library.

Using Amazon's 'Look inside' feature can be really handy here (if it is available on the book you are looking at then the words 'Look inside' with an arrow pointing down appear directly above the top of the book cover photo).

If you've not used it before, you simply click on the book cover and it opens up and you can literally look inside to see example content, and judge if you like the content, design, and any useful features like maps, etc.

Rough Guide vs Lonely Planet

The thing that immediately struck me was that the Lonely Planet guide was more attractive to look at than The Rough Guide . The maps in the Lonely Planet guide were more detailed than those in their competitor's and looked more practically useful.

I imagined that if I was somewhere in Japan I'd never been to before, and had The Rough Guide maps in front of me, they wouldn't have been much help on the ground.

Lonely Planet had more photos and more colour than The Rough Guide too. It also had heavier stock paper. I remember being shocked at just how thin the pages of The Rough Guide were – suspecting they might tear all too easily when in active use 'out in the field'.

However, that did mean The Rough Guide managed to cram in more pages into their edition within a similar thickness (more than 1,000 compared with Lonely Planet 's 831). Neither were pocketable, they were quite hefty reference books. Both were priced pretty much the same too.

All of that was interesting, useful and good to know. However, the key determining factor for me was in reading them.

Don't overlook smaller publishers/imprints

There are thousands of niche book publishers/imprints around the world and within that group are a good number of travel publishers. And you'd be making a mistake if you were to overlook or ignore them simply because you've not heard of them.

I'll probably create another post focusing on more niche travel publishers in the future but, for now, in the context of this post, there's one I want to bring to your attention: Moon Travel Guides.

Moon books are published by Avalon Travel, which is a Hachette Book Group company (ultimately owned by France's largest publisher). They currently have three Japan titles in their catalog: Moon Japan, Moon Tokyo, Kyoto & Hiroshima (aka the 'Golden Route') and Moon Tokyo Walks.

Frommer's Japan Guide

Then turn to read about a place (town, city, region, resort, whatever) you know and see how that description meets your experience and knowledge of the place. If you've been to the country before and know a town or city well - use that as your reference point.

"Knowing Kobe well, I turned in both editions to read about the city."

Knowing Kobe well, I turned in both editions to read about the city. I recall the Lonely Planet guide saying that one of the highlights of a visit to Kobe was to explore the Harborland district in the evening, where attractions like the Kobe Tower, Meriken Park are lit up at night in a colourful display.

But, having been there several times before, I knew that in the evening the area can be quite desolate and that the only real reason people do go there at night is to go to a restaurant or the multiplex cinema. Not exactly ground-breaking experiences. Whereas, of the same location, The Rough Guide described it more accurately, pointing out that in the evening there was less to attract the passing visitor.

Etiquette in Japan The Real Japan Rob Dyer

To the previously uninformed it would have been difficult to choose between them. But, to me, the differences were striking, and enough to enable me to make a clear and confident choice.

'Nuts and Bolts' vs 'Essence and Feeling'

I felt that the Lonely Planet guide was better at describing the 'nuts and bolts' of a place – the facts and figures, if you will. Whereas The Rough Guide was less detailed on such things but better at conveying the essence, the style, the 'feeling' of a place. Essentially, what it feels like when you are actually there . And, crucially, 'there' more as a local than a 'tourist'.

To me the Lonely Planet guide seemed possibly better suited to those who had never been to Japan and who like to have a lot of detail and specifics around the logistics of booking accommodation, flights, sites, etc. I also felt their maps would be more helpful in finding your way when compared with the minimalist, almost oblique maps in The Rough Guide (remember, I'm referring to the 2008 editions here).

If you just want facts use Wikipedia

But, I also felt that the Lonely Planet guide would be far less useful on repeat visits. There was less in it to capture your imagination regarding a place, whereas The Rough Guide included all kinds of (on first glance) seemingly leftfield or random details - but information that would reward subsequent visits.

"What I was looking for in a guide was more along the lines of 'insider' information, personal recommendations, off-the-beaten-track tips, etc. Fewer facts, more opinions. (If I want facts I'll look on Wikipedia.)"

Since I would always do my pre-travel research on the internet to get the most up-to-date information on the logistical side of travelling (flight, train, bus schedules, best connections, recommended accommodation, opening hours of restaurants, bars, sights, etc).

The best for 'insider information'

What I was looking for in a guide was more along the lines of 'insider' information, personal recommendations, off-the-beaten-track tips, etc. Fewer facts , more opinions . (If I want facts I'll look on Wikipedia!)

The book that delivered what I was after was The Rough Guide to Japan .

It didn't matter to me that the maps in it were basic and not much help. The first thing I ask for when visiting any tourist information centre (or ryokan or hotel ) is for any maps they have of the local area. These are way better than anything you'll find in any guidebook.

How To Travel In Japan Without Speaking Japanese: my travel guide

How to travel in Japan without speaking Japanese ebook The Real Japan Rob Dyer

One of the major considerations with travelling in Japan is the inscrutable Japanese language.

A seemingly incomprehensible, often kaleidoscopic, barrage of cryptic symbols awaits the foreign traveller who doesn’t speak or read the language.

I’ve been exploring Japan since 2000 and I’ve picked up plenty of tips along the way.

I’ve distilled decades of my experience into this ebook for you.

This practical Guide and Workbook covers all the essential basics you need to ensure your first (or next) trip to Japan is as Amazing as you deserve it to be.

Guide books also have a hidden bonus feature! They are also a handy place to keep flat mementos of travel ephemera such as tickets, flyers, leaflets, etc that you'll pick up on your journeys. Which, if you're anything like me, you'll collect hundreds of ;-).

Rough Guide Japan (2008 Edition)

Rough Guide Japan (2008 Edition)

Updating your guide

Personally, I don't think it necessary to update my guide books every year, or even every few years.

In fact, it could be argued that if you need to then it isn't the right guide for you. The occasional natural disaster or social upheaval aside, the basics don't change very often. Particularly in a country as well-developed as Japan.

Nevertheless, I recently decided to update my original Rough Guide , which was published in 2008 – but has served me well (even those wafer-thin pages were miraculously still intact!).

Confident that it was the right choice the first time around, I didn't bother to do the same extensive comparative research, but did note that several of what I identified as shortcomings in my previous edition had been changed/improved in the latest edition. So I simply ordered the new one online.

Comparing old and new editions

When it arrived, I was delighted to discover that many of the better production values of the older Lonely Planet guides had been incorporated – more colour photos, colour-coordinated sections, better, more detailed maps, thicker paper(!). With my 2008 and latest edition side by side, I re-read several familiar sections to compare between them.

Some have been completely re-written, others changed little or not at all (but justifiably so). Information about some places has been dropped, replaced by new entries.

Incidentally, at the moment, I see the Lonely Planet title is the most popular guide in Amazon's Japan Guidebook category. Proving that, in spite of my fondness for The Rough Guide , this whole process is about personal viewpoint and preferences.

How to spot shortcomings

The only shortcomings I've spotted since using it relate to the index. Whilst many towns (in particular) are included in the guide they do not appear in the index. This makes quickly finding them inside the guide more difficult that it should be.

It wouldn't have added too much to the length of the index to include the significant places. To read about them as it is, you have to navigate to the more general region, etc entry and find it from there.

Also, although there are fewer pages than the 2008 edition (880 now compared with over 1,000 then) the book is noticeably thicker than its earlier edition. I guess that's what you get with thicker paper!

So, that was my original and recent experience of choosing what, for me, is the best guidebook to Japan. Tastes, preferences and needs differ. Your needs may indeed be different, meaning a different guide is better suited to you. But, however you choose, choose wisely, and you'll have an invaluable resource that rewards your adventures in Japan for years to come.

Where to buy: Amazon vs Wordery

Amazon is usually my first port of call for researching and usually purchasing books. The customer reviews alone are a really valuable and time-saving resource.

However, typing in “Rough Guide to Japan” into Google, I managed to find Wordery.com – where the same edition was £2.95 cheaper than the price on Amazon, and it included free, worldwide delivery.

To truly immerse yourself in the culture, consider staying in a traditional Japanese ryokan, where you can experience the traditional tatami rooms, communal baths, and delicious kaiseki meals.

When visiting Japan, be sure to explore the historic temples and shrines that dot the country. Kyoto, in particular, is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the Golden Pavilion, also known as Kinkaku-ji.

Japan is a country of diverse landscapes and attractions. Whether you are interested in bustling cities, serene countryside, or picturesque coastal towns, Japan has something for everyone.

Tokyo, the capital city, is a must-visit destination for its vibrant street culture, world-class shopping, and delicious street food. Don’t miss the iconic Shibuya Crossing and the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa.

If you are looking for a more traditional experience, visit Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan. Explore the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, take a stroll through the historic Gion district, and visit the majestic Fushimi Inari Shrine.

For nature enthusiasts, a visit to the Japanese Alps is a must. The region offers breathtaking landscapes, hot springs, and hiking trails. Don’t miss the stunning snow monkeys in Jigokudani Monkey Park.

The island of Hokkaido is known for its beautiful national parks, hot springs, and delicious seafood. Be sure to visit the charming city of Sapporo and explore the stunning landscapes of Daisetsuzan National Park.

Japanese cuisine is renowned worldwide for its freshness, quality, and unique flavors. From sushi and ramen to tempura and yakitori, there is an endless variety of delicious dishes to try in Japan.

When in Japan, be sure to sample sushi from a traditional sushi bar, where the fish is fresh and expertly prepared. Don’t miss the chance to try authentic ramen, a comforting noodle soup that comes in various styles and flavors.

For a unique dining experience, try a traditional kaiseki meal, which consists of multiple small courses that showcase the chef’s skills and the season’s best ingredients. Wash it down with some sake, Japan’s famous rice wine.

Don’t forget to explore the local food markets, such as Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo or Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Here, you can taste a wide variety of street food and local specialties.

Japan is known for its efficient and extensive public transportation system, which makes it easy to explore the country. Here are some practical tips for navigating Japan’s public transportation:

  • Get a Japan Rail Pass: If you plan to travel extensively within Japan, consider getting a Japan Rail Pass, which offers unlimited travel on Japan Railways trains, including the famous Shinkansen bullet trains.
  • Use the Suica or Pasmo Card: These prepaid cards can be used on trains, buses, and even for shopping at convenience stores. They save you the hassle of buying individual tickets for each journey.
  • Learn Basic Japanese Phrases: While many signs and announcements are in English, it’s helpful to learn a few basic Japanese phrases to navigate the transportation system and ask for directions if needed.
  • Plan Your Route in Advance: Use online resources or smartphone apps to plan your route in advance. This will help you save time and ensure a smooth journey.
  • Be Mindful of Etiquette: Japanese public transportation is known for its cleanliness and punctuality. Be sure to follow the local etiquette, such as giving up your seat to the elderly or keeping your phone on silent mode.

Japan is a country deeply rooted in tradition, and there are numerous festivals and events held throughout the year that showcase the country’s cultural heritage. Some of the most famous festivals include:

  • Sakura Matsuri: Also known as the Cherry Blossom Festival, this event celebrates the arrival of spring when cherry blossoms bloom all over the country. Join the locals in hanami, the tradition of picnicking under the cherry blossom trees.
  • Gion Matsuri: Held in Kyoto in July, this festival is one of the most famous in Japan. It features spectacular processions of floats, traditional music, and dance performances.
  • Obon Festival: This Buddhist festival, held in August, is a time to honor the spirits of ancestors. It is celebrated with traditional dances, lantern processions, and the lighting of bonfires.
  • Shogatsu: Also known as New Year, this is one of the most important celebrations in Japan. It is a time for family gatherings, visiting shrines, and enjoying traditional New Year’s dishes.

While popular tourist destinations like Tokyo and Kyoto are must-visit places, Japan also offers hidden gems off the beaten path. These lesser-known destinations provide a chance to experience the authentic and lesser-explored side of Japan.

One such hidden gem is Kanazawa, a city on the west coast of Japan. Known for its beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts, as well as its stunning Kenroku-en Garden, Kanazawa offers a glimpse into Japan’s feudal past.

Another hidden gem is the island of Naoshima, which has become an art lover’s paradise. The island is home to numerous contemporary art museums and installations, including the famous Benesse House museum.

If you are looking for natural beauty, head to the Oki Islands in the Sea of Japan. This remote archipelago offers pristine beaches, rugged coastlines, and stunning hiking trails.

These hidden gems provide a chance to experience a different side of Japan, away from the crowds and tourist hotspots.

Lastly, embrace the local customs and traditions, and be open to trying new foods and experiences. Japan is a country that is rich in culture and history, and by immersing yourself in the local way of life, you can truly make the most of your Japan travel adventure.
