Japan travel map Jun 29, 2007
The main reason I purchased this book was for the map of Japan. I could not find a reasonably priced map. I was not disappointed. The bonus was the city maps of Kyoto and Tokyo. This was a good reference for our travels in Japan. Compact size allowed me to take it on our day excursions. I would definitely buy another Globetrotter book.

 Field tested in Japan Feb 10, 2007
I brought this to Japan and used it to navigate Tokyo. It's an excellent map for the Tokyo metropolotan area only. It doesn't contain detailed street level features, but mainly major streets, locations of train stations, districts, tourist sites. You still have to maintain a level of awareness of where you are on the map since Japan is very much a walking city, you have to be careful of where you walk at the street level since it will not show you each street name.
It does have names of the major companies (Like Sony, etc). So you can also determine your location based on these major companies. Japan's a place that it can be fun to get a little lost, so I didn't mind not having the street level detail. But if I were to spend more money and buy a different map, I would like a book type map that has the street details.
Also, This is a fold-out map. So it can be a little tedious to unfold. Some of the creases are already starting to become weak and tear. But if you want a cheap, small map that will not add much bulk to your purse, backpack or brief-case, this can be an easy addition to your travel.

ok map Nov 10, 2006
This map is thorough but a bit unwieldy. The visual emphasis on roads detracts from and makes it difficult to see the train routes. I would have preferred a map with only train routes and no roads at all.

Very good choice Aug 13, 2006
I bought this map sight unseen. I looked at maps in various bookstores and found them difficult to read and expensive. This turned out of be one of the most readable maps I've seen. The back has maps of various cities with very good detail (especially for Tokyo) on where hotels, points of interest, and train/metro stops are located.
It has a durable cover, but it would be nice if the paper inside was more durable. It developed some tears after a few days of heavy use.

 Need a Map? Mar 21, 2006
We have almost worn the map out planning the trip -- can't imagine what will be left after the trip but we are confident we will find our way around Japan with this excellent set of maps. Thanks.
