Great insights, but needing an update
Used this guide book to plan my October 2023 trip to Japan. As long as the recommendations were still in existence, I was very happy (some places were closed permanently).My only complaint was finding descriptions of items near each other on the map. It was very confusing starting with a map of the area and figuring out what is nearby. For example, all restaurant descriptions in the book point back to the pg number for the map, but from the map or the key, you can't find page numbers for descriptions. I had to write them in myself (see image). It gets especially confusing when one map has multiple maps within and overlapping.

Una guía muy compleja, pero no apta para todos.

Uno de sus problemas es que, por un lado, el tamaño de las letras es pequeño, aunado a que no tiene imágenes de referencia acerca de los lugares que sugiere visitar, y aunque incluye varios mapas no es fácil consultarlos al momento.
Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que varias de las atracciones y de los lugares que se sugieren, entre sitios históricos y culturales, museos, parques, plazas comerciales, restaurantes, hoteles, etc. ya podrían haber cerrado al momento de que el lector busque sugerencias para su viaje.
Y como dije, la guía tiene mucha información ideal para planear intinerarios, pero es imprácticas para guiarse sobre el terreno. La opción de la misma editorial que también está disponible en Amazon son las guías pocket de ciertos lugares, como de Tokyo o de Kyoto y Osaka, en las que explican más detalladamente con imágenes acerca de las atracciones locales y cómo llegar a ellas dentro de la misma ciudad.
Concluyendo, es un excelente material para planear con tiempo el viaje a Japón, seleccionando a qué zonas del país les interesa ir, cómo moverse entre los medios de transporte nacionales y los locales más importantes, qué esperar encontrar en cada zona del país, etc. Pero como he reiterado, para llevarla como guía de turisteo sin mucha planeación de por medio es impráctica, y en ese caso sugiero que compren otra de las guías regionales de Lonely Planet disponibles en esta plataforma.
