Title: Buy this book before your trip to Japan!
Review: Great information! Highly recommend this book.Packed with lots of juicy tips, the author writes in a fun, easy to understand tone, no excessive jargon.It has given us confidence to plan our trip, book our flights and lodging.I had no idea we could do this so affordably. We have already save a lot.For example: Our lodging expense for 30 days, 2 adults, averages $33 per day!We are very excited about using the JR (Japan Rail Pass) and special one day city passes available only to tourists!Also, looking forward to visiting the many free or very low cost, but high quality scenic areas, shrines, temples and more.The author gives a short historic background description of each city covered, with main points of interest, best ways to get around, best time of day to go, info on how to save even more $, 100 yen and 300 yen stores, supermarkets, cheap but good restaurants, and much, much more.So-o-o glad I got this book. You will too. Absolutely worth it.

Title: Very useful! Great tips!
Review: My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Japan, and had bought this book as a reference to keep with us to the different cities we were traveling too. This was both our first time going. We had gone to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Nara, and Osaka - all of which were included in this handy little book. And we would pull it out at different times if we were on the train or in our hotel, to remind ourselves what the big tourist attractions were in each city. We had done our own online research prior to leaving as well, so we had an planned itinerary, but it was really helpful to have this book as it gives little summaries on historical importance of each location, what the highlights were, and then other optional places to see as well as how to find cheap eats. Overall we really loved this purchase, and would recommend it to any traveler who’s planning on a trip.

Title: Good basic book
Review: We found this book very helpful on our trip to Tokyo and Kyoto. It's basic, easily readable format made it great to have with us when we were out sightseeing; very easy to find things quickly. We used many of the food recommendations and enjoyed them. The only problem we had was that sometimes the directions to places were a bit too brief, and the maps would be more helpful if they had a bit more detail. But overall a handy guide to carry with you.

Title: Came in handy
Review: I was lucky enough to take a last-minute week-long trip to Tokyo late last year and this book greatly helped with budgeting and things to do. The paths were pretty easy to follow and insight into Pasmo cards helped my fiance know not got get the "visitors" card. It may need an update with some items but otherwise was hand for a week-long tokyo trip for 2 with a $1200usd budget.

Title: All you need to travel Japan on a budget
Review: I've been traveling Japan for three weeks and this book is _amazing_. It looks a little flimsy, but contains so much good information - cheap recommendations, easy to find, good summaries of places. Great to get a general sense of "this is what I want to do", you can always look up more on the internet. Recommends fun, cheap places that are maybe a bit out of the way but just as worth it. Highly recommend.

Title: Amazing Guide Book! I Wish I'd Had This from the Beginning!
Review: I'm going to Japan in two weeks, and I've been searching the internet for the best ways to save money while still experiencing the culture. This book is amazing!!! The information is well organized by region and attraction type (modern Tokyo vs. traditional Tokyo, for example). There are recommended restaurants with prices listed, ways to find free wifi hotspots, maps with 100 yen stores, and even tips on where to fill up your water bottle!I wish I'd had this book when I started planning this trip. It would have saved me a ton of time and money. As it is, I am excited to have this guide for planning the remainder of my trip. It will be a big help when I'm in Japan! I feel more confident about being able to navigate the country and get a good deal while doing it.

Title: Fine, but damaged
Review: The book is as described except for damage along the spine. Unsure if it was due to the shipping process or how it was sent as.

Title: Super Great Guide
Review: This was a fantastic book for not only finding great prices, but for helping us navigate a country we barely knew. We traveled all over the country for 3 weeks on a Japan Rail Pass, visiting lots of sites at little or no cost. I can’t imagine we would have had nearly the variety of experiences we did without this guide. One of the great suggestions was to eat at the places off the main road. We found a little place in Chinatown in Yokohama that we went to 3 times!I’ve just ordered a guide for an upcoming trip so I can plan our stay.

Review: Gute Einstiegshilfe für unerfahrene Japanreisende. Gute Tips zur Erkundung der Hauptorte. Die Zusammenstellung von kostenfreien oder günstigen Angeboten ist gut und ausführlich! 5 Sterne gäbe es von mir sofort, wenn noch eine detailiertere Karte der einzelnen Städte inklusive wäre. Kann das Buch aber auch so definitiv weiterempfehlen!

Review: Very good guide for the main cities in Japan. I found about free tours in this guide which is interesting! There are 2 or 3 things that needed an update, maybe on the new volume?

Review: I have followed the author's website (wwwsupercheapjapan.com) for some years, finding it very useful when planning my two visits to Japan.It was with great delight that I discovered that the author has now released an ebook covering budget travel for Japan. I was not disappointed.If you have not been to Japan but were thinking of visiting, particularly on a budget, I could think of no better way to introduce yourself to this fascinating country than to use this ebook as your guide.Japan is a complex place to visit if you did not have a guide (the language for starters), and you could waste precious time getting lost. Having a copy of Super Cheap Japan would make travelling a whole lot easier and more fun.This book is packed full of useful and comprehensive information on Japan in all it's infinite variety. It will encourage you to visit places off the tourist trail, where you will experience the real Japan.The book shows the author's first hand experience of the Land of the Rising Sun,; by travelling on a budget himself and with many years learning Japanese, he has been able to write honestly about the places he has been to.The links and maps in each section are superb and easy to access.In short, this ebook is a must!
