Japan: An Insider's Guide for the Savvy Traveler (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781087116419)

The best collection of tips, tricks and secrets EVERY first-time traveler to Japan must read.

After reading this concise and powerful Japan travel guide, you'll be traveling like it's your 10th trip...not your 1st, or 2nd.

I lived in Japan for almost a decade, and it took many years to be able to REALLY scratch the surface, something a first-timer has no chance of doing...unless they read up.

This book is a direct download of everything I WISH I would have known right from the start.

What this travel guide is not

• Where to stay for the best time.
• Where the nightlife is.
• The best activities to get a true experience.
• How to make new friends and take a peek behind the closed doors you'll never see as a normal tourist.
• How To Ingrain yourself and experience Japan like you've lived there for as long as I did.

Navigating this almost alien-like world requires an understanding of the unique and rich culture.

This concise, to-the-point guide will give you a good starting point to plan from and minimize the learning curve
