If you want to visit Japan or know more about the culture, Tokyo Travels: A Parent’s Guide for a Fun Family Holiday by Suzanne Lowe is the book for you. Although written as a guide for parents visiting Japan with their children, it is so full of great traveling information that it is wonderful for anyone who wants to know more about Tokyo and the surrounding area. The main religions in Japan are Shintoism and Buddhism. When visiting their places of worship, be ready to remove your shoes out of respect. Advice includes wearing good socks and comfortable shoes as well as packing light. One piece of advice is invaluable: have your hotel write down your destination in Japanese so the locals can help you find where you want to go. This book includes lots of information for each suggested location you may visit, including the closest stations, admission fees, addresses, hours of operation, and tips. I enjoyed learning all about Tokyo even though I do not have it on my vacation list—yet.

Suzanne Lowe is an experienced traveling parent who has visited Tokyo several times with her children. She visited Japan with her children at different stages in their lives, including when they were small children and even teens. Her visits have given her great wisdom regarding traveling. She even includes some common phrases in Japanese. Sharing secrets, such as where to find quick snacks and warning that the Japanese disapprove of eating while walking around, Suzanne leaves no stone unturned in Tokyo Travels. Suzanne lives in Australia, so the spelling is similar to British, as are the units of measurement. I highly recommend you take this book with you when you go on vacation. I think this is a wonderful introduction to Japan. I recommend it to all who want to know more about Tokyo.
