Japan: Explore Rich Culture and Affordable Living.

This book is perfect for anyone looking to travel to Japan on a budget. With its comprehensive coverage of affordable accommodation, shopping and eating options, the book helps readers plan their trip without breaking the bank. In addition, the special arts section allows readers to delve deeper into the rich culture of Japan, particularly its traditional art forms like kabuki, and modern phenomena such as anime. The language chapter also makes it easy for readers to communicate with locals. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in exploring the unique and affordable travel experiences Japan has to offer.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. This thorough guide is the perfect companion for discovering the classical and contemporary delights of Japan. The more than 170 maps have keys in both English and Japanese script and there's a 30-page arts section covering everything from calligraphy to rock music and an enticingly descriptive guide to the joys of Japanese cuisine. Whether your interests lean toward culture and history or the great outdoors, this book will get you there. --Kathryn True
