5.0 out of 5 stars This is complete with practicable and factual judgment that is assuredly in good quality.

This book on travelling to Japan is sure-enough an essential to bring and read before travelling. The author inputs sufficient information and tips while touring. The readers can expect to hustle on some pointers to its most detailed approach that includes exchanging rates, to market, to weather, and so on. This is complete with practicable and factual judgment that is assuredly in good quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed: Not Enough Information to Make It as a Travel Guide Book
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
Disappointed - not enough words and information to make it a book. Product information stated the "book" has 62 pages, it actually has only 53 pages. Page 51 is less than half page printed with 3 notes, page 52 is blank, and page 53 has 5 lines + 1 word about the author. Page 3 has 2 words - "Japan experience", page 45 is blank!

Other than the front and back covers, this book has no images, photos, illustrations, or city maps. A low grade travel guide comparing to other traveling guides I have seen.

This should not been selling as a "book" because it doesn't have enough words to make it as a standard book. The information provided are generic and are widely available online for free. I found much better and more information online than this so called "book." Not recommended.

Great ideas for finding inexpensive ways to travel to Japan and see the sights. Weber's book outlines strategies for determining the best (and cheapest) times to fly to Japan, best exchange rates and cost-effective ways to travel to and from the airport. The book covers everything from accommodations to grocery shopping, restaurants to visiting historic and popular destinations while in Japan. Written with an eye for finding "deals" - Cheap Japan provides helpful information and tips for those looking to find ways to save money when visiting what is traditionally an expensive country.

5.0 out of 5 stars The focus of this book is really good. Everyone likes to save
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016
Though Japan is still considered a very expensive country to travel to, in reality after a decade of recession the prices went down dramatically. However unless you know your way to travel, you will still be paying higher costs. The focus of this book is really good. Everyone likes to save. And it'd be even greater if you could do it while you travel overseas. There is a coverage over 100 yen shop which is a great help to budget travelers. These stores have come a long way to be where they are now. The el cheapo now is a stores sells
variety of goods with good quality under one dollar a piece.
For the price of this book, I give it a five star.
This is a value for money guide. Best to grab before you travel to Japan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un livre plein d'anecdotes constructives pour apprendre à voyager pas cher.

Quand on souhaite aller quelque part, on ne se renseigne pas assez pour savoir à quels moments partir et que faire une fois là-bas pour économiser au maximum sans se priver pour autant. Ce livre nous permet de savoir quand partir en fonction du temps, quoi manger, où dormir, comment voyager, que voir et que faire, pas cher ou gratuitement, tout en s’amusant. Vous saviez que l’on pouvait avoir un guide gratuitement pour nous faire visiter Tokyo ? Et qui EN PLUS parle notre langue natale ? Bonne idée pour rencontrer des gens, ne pas se perdre et découvrir la capitale.
Ce guide est bref, pratique et très bien expliqué. On ressent bien l’expérience de l’auteur. Maintenant on sait que c'est possible. À lire avant de partir ! Il n’y a plus qu’à faire nos valises. ;)

When we want to go somewhere we don’t inquire enough to know when to leave and what to do once there, to save money without depriving ourselves. This book allows us to know when to go in terms of weather, what to eat, where to sleep, how to travel, what to see and what to do, cheap or for free while having fun. Did you know that we could have a free guide just for us to visit Tokyo ? And, in addition, speaks our native language ? Good idea to meet people, not to get lost and discover the capital !
This guide is brief, practical and very well explained. We can feel the experience of the writer. Now we know that's possible. To read before leaving ! We just have to pack our luggages. ;)

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and lacking precision
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2016

This book is self-published, and very short. The text design style on the inside isn't great, and I was swayed by the cover when purchasing this. If I had been able to look inside I don't think I would have bought it! The information is pretty obvious if you're willing to have a little google and a search around - however, if you've got no time to do any research, the book would form a concise summary of everything you need to know about getting round Japan cheaply.
