SUBWAY MAP WAS GREAT!!!
I got the 7th edition of this book and I thought it was great! I lived in Tokyo for over 7 months and I used the book all the time to get around! I would map out my destination on the subway map and follow it all the way there and back! The directions that I got for each walking tour were great...minus one little spot, the Yanaka walking tour was nice until the last stop. But other than that I thought the directions were spot on giving which exit to leave the subway and giving prices for everything. The book is kind of thick for daytime travel but all the info was great. One of the bars that I frequented, the owner saw I had pulled out the book told me of the woman who came in to verify the info. I loved it and am so glad I got it! I'm sure to take it back with me when I go back in a few months.

Comprehensive, but not for the directionally-challenged
With straight-forward descriptions and commentary (typical ofFrommer's guides), this is a very comprehensive guide to Tokyo. I'vespent the past 6 weeks living and working in Tokyo, using this book to guide my weekend adventures. The places/attractions, etc. I've visited--based on Frommer's Tokyo suggestions--have even impressed coworkers (Tokyo natives). Two drawbacks: The maps are a bit lacking and the "walking tour" directions are a bit confusing, even for those who are not directionally-challenged. Note: I also purchased the Frommer's Japan guide and after comparing its Tokyo section to the Frommer's Tokyo guide, I realized that the Japan guide is equally comprehensive. END

For Tokyo, go with Lonely Planet's
I'm usually a big fan of Frommer's guidebook style, except this once, I actually wished I got the Lonely Planet's. In this edition places of interest were arranged under categories of museums, shopping, sports etc, which is normal but I wish they'd have it arrange under different areas/ neighborhoods too. For example, if I'm in a certain area, I'd want to visit all of everything that's within that area to avoid traveling back and forth. Another thing is, when it gave the subway stops to places of interest, it fails to mention which subway LINE which can be confusing because Tokyo has so many different subway companies.
