[ About the Book ]
Tokyo has long held the dubious honor of being one of the world's most expensive travel destinations, and not without reason. The rising yen and Japan's full-throttle economic boom combined to thrust the price of entertainment and sight-seeing in Japan's capital sky high. But as the "New York of the Orient," Tokyo's sights and sounds are must-dos for any modern-day traveler.
Now comes Tokyo for Free, a thorough survey of over 300 attractions of traditional and modern Japan—all absolutely free. Included are visits to the Imperial Palace, dynamic martial arts bouts, classic gardens and temples, contemporary sculpture gardens, antique markets, traditional and "boutique" museums, and sake tasting room, to name but a few.
Susan Pompian, a sometime Tokyo resident, spent three years searching out rare cultural nuggets that expat residents and even many Japanese were unaware of. Tokyo for Free opens up a whole new vista in travel to Japan—a "priceless" asset for tourists and long-term visitors alike.
Reviews
