Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Japan (Country Guide)
Book Review: A Great Way to Get Unexcited About Your Trip to Japan
Summary: 2 Stars
This Lonely Planet Guide is another copy of all the previous Japan guides with all the same disappointments.
Coverage of areas outside of Tokyo and Kyoto is honestly rather shoddy, and they've kept the obnoxious negativity that makes an exciting trip to Japan seem like a waste of time. While other Lonely Planet guides are lively, with authors that seem to enjoy the travelling, Lonely Planet Japan's authors write as though they really don't like Japan. It is questionable whether or not the writers even visited the cities they are reviewing.
This guide is probably most useful as a reference of places to look up on your own in another source.
