Book Description
Most guidebooks read like textbooks or promotional brochures, but not Frommer's. We know that readers turn to us when they're planning a vacation, so even though we take the details seriously, we produce guides with a sense of fun and discovery. And we believe that you can tell a book by its cover, so we don't settle for anything less than spectacular photography.
No wonder we're turning heads. And no wonder readers have rediscovered that Frommer's is the key to an unforgettable vacation.
Travel to Japan is booming! With the U.S. dollar up almost 10% against the yen over last year, American travelers now have more buying power in Japan than they've had in years. More Americans than ever before are requesting information from the Japan National Tourist Organization; inquiries at the New York office alone are double what they were last year. Tour sales are up 35-40% from 1996 to 1997, and one of the largest agencies selling Japan rail passes in America reports a whopping 200% increase in sales over last year.
Completely updated, and featuring an indispensible Japanese character key that makes it possible to recognize establishment signs on the street, this Frommer's guide is user-friendly and is a practical resource to the region's culture, cuisine, and customs. It's required reading for anyone visiting Japan! --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
