Patrice Fusillo and Noriko Araki have authored a large book about a small country where space is at a premium, and packed it with the sort of details and options that let you maneuver, if not like a native, at least like a well-informed traveler. Covering all the islands, and giving in-depth attention to Mt. Fuji, the Japan Alps, and all the major cities, Open Road's Japan Guide is a remarkably comprehensive and useful tome. Fusillo and Araki explain everything, including the craftsmanship that goes into making a perfect lacquer bowl, the acumen that churns out millions of Walkmans, proper etiquette for Japanese inns and baths, and what the temples and shrines are all about. Along with a history of Japan and asides on culture and religion, they give cost-cutting advice; direct you to hot-spring resorts, kabuki dances, smoking volcanoes, serene rock gardens, and virtual reality game centers; explain how to get around by train; introduce you to a vast array of restaurants; detail all the sight-seeing alternatives; and thoroughly cover the lodging options in each city. With additional chapters on sports and recreation in Japan and traveling with children, they make the diverse pleasures of Japan accessible.
