Tokyo Maze - 42 Walks is no ordinary travel guide. The author is no stranger to Japan either, having spent over 25 years visiting the country as a student, on work assignments and as a writer.

Regardless of whether you come to Japan on a package holiday or under your own steam or if you're even planning to live in Tokyo for a while, this guide will enrich your stay. Please note: a conscious decision was made to print this guide in black and white in order to provide you with a wealth of detailed and up-to-the-minute information at a low price. If colour photographs are a priority, you should opt for the e-book version with 160 color photos. * Since the last major update in October 2020, twenty cafés, restaurants and shops closed for good because of Covid-19, which I have replaced with new ones. Temporary closures and currently restricted opening hours have not been taken into account because this book is mainly aimed at tourists who will not travel again until the current restrictions have been relaxed.
