Yes, there are geishas. Yes, there is neon. And yes, there are sake and hot springs and moss gardens. Japan delivers all the iconic stuff - then it starts piling on the surprises...
This phrasebook gets you on board the linguistic bullet train, stopping all stations to conversational perfection. If you want to know your shabu shabuya from your tonkatsuya, this guide is just the ticket.
Kyoto, the imperial capital of Japan before Tokyo got the job, is a quintessentially Japanese city. Heritage-listed sights vie with some of Japan's finest international restaurants, flea markets sell vintage kimono fabric and those signature baths send you off into another world.
You don't have to go far to get far-out in Tokyo. Spend a Sunday in Harajuku snapping the costumed kids, buy a USB drive that looks like sushi, watch the blades blur at Tsukiji Central Fish Market and digest it all over thimbles of sake in a Golden Gai drinking den.
Tokyo: home to more than six million vending machines and a blizzard of retail options from designer fashion to dog toupees. Start the day with a fresh sushi breakfast and end it with the evening weather report for news on the sakura zensen (cherry blossom front). The Tokyo Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.
From sunrise atop Fuji-san to ancient temples and pilgrim trails, explore the wonders of Japan with this meticulously researched guide.
