Japan update
New information



The second editions of both the Rough Guide to Japan and the Mini Rough Guide to Tokyo were published in 2001. The information I'm collecting here will feed into the updating process for the third editions. I hope that it will also be a useful resource - either in combination with the guide or in its own right.

Please note that information in this section comes from a whole variety of sources (many thanks to all contributors!) and has not yet been verified.

If you would like to add your own tips, comments or snippets of information, please email me. All contributors will be gratefully acknowledged in the next edition of the guide.


This section is divided into three pages:

Basics: (Getting there & away | Getting around | Accommodation | Health | Costs, money & banks | Eating & drinking | Mail, telecomms & media | Public holidays | Shopping | Sports & outdoor activities | Police, trouble & emergencies | Working & studying | Gay & lesbian Japan)

The guide: (Tokyo | Around Tokyo | Northern Honshu | Hokkaido | Central Honshu | Western Honshu | Shikoku | Kansai | Kysuhu | Okinawa)

Contexts: (History, politics & economics | Religion | Pop culture & technology | Environment | Books | Film | Language | Snippets)
