Tokyo Underground

Hybrid Design, San Francisco, California, 2007

Description

As much a treasure map as a travel guide, Tokyo Underground breaks down the countless barriers that visitors to Tokyo face and simplifies your journey. Providing advice about what to pack, where to go, and how to read subway maps and make telephone calls, this book covers every step of your adventure with straightforward, useful information. Maps are created using landmarks only, and provide directions to and from the train station, so you can easily and comfortably trek through Tokyo without knowing how to speak the language. Travel tips are simplified so that you do not have to sift through endless options. A comprehensive resource, Tokyo Underground makes the most secret shops and coolest destinations accessible in a single book, offering you a true insider’s glimpse into the latest in Tokyo toys, trends and culture.

Juror Notes

The information is smart, ordered and useful. It’s beautifully presented with simple typography and a supporting color palette that conveys the information more freshly than most guidebooks.
