Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-25 00:00:00 William Bartlett For the average traveler, Frommers and Fodors are more balanced, and far easier to actually read - when you get older, 6 point type on an orange background gets to be anoying. The Hotels section is useless, with little differentiation and no ratings - every hotel listed is some variation on "stylish," "upmarket," etc. The price range symbols are unreadable - white numbers on orange circles. Most travel books list translatiions of common phrases such as "Where is the Mens' Room?," and "I don't speak Japanese." The Rough Guide is the first I've seen that gives translations of specific "tourist" sites, such as "The National Museum of Modern Art" - "Kokuritsu Kindai Bijusukan" - potentially useful if you're really stuck for directions, etc., although in Tokyo itself there's enough English spoken.
