 You need this map if you are going to spend much time in Tokyo June 4, 2008
Tokyo is a very complex city to get around in. If you are going to be there on your own much, get this. Trust me - you need it. And it is very well done to boot.
 Very helpful. May 31, 2008
You won't get lost with this atlas. The best thing is: all exits from subways are numbered, so you will always find the right way out. I highly recommend it.
Essential and fundamental!!!!!!! May 26, 2008
Si no quieres andar perdido y poder encontrar las direcciones, por ejemplo la de tu hotel, este atlas es vital, sobre todo hablando de una ciudad tan grande como Tokyo.
Viene en ingles y japones, cosa muy importante (asi puedes pedir a un autoctono que te ayude a encontrar un sitio con el mapa).
Tiene mucha informacion turistica (museos, ryokans, puntos de interes..)
Y sobre todo tiene los numeros de los bloques escritos en el mapa, que es la unica forma de localizar una direccion en una ciudad en la que muchas calles
no tienen nombre.
Resumiendo, si no lo tienes andaras perdido y si lo tienes no.........
Almost perfect, except for the size and age... March 11, 2008

Is this the best bilingual atlas out there? Probably so. However, at 8.2 x 5.9 x 0.5 inches, it's slim, but extremely wide and tall. This is unfortunate, as it makes it so it does not fit into your pocket or a small purse.
Admittedly it's easier to read, but often times, you're having to open this up in cramped quarters (of which there are plenty in Japan), and it's a lot more convenient to pull this out of a pocket vs a backpack in a congested area. There are several pocketable Tokyo atlases written in Japanese only, and it's a shame they don't have a bilingual edition of those, as it would be a lot easier to carry.
At 5 years old, it's a bit outdated, as a good chunk of the city has changed already. It's a shame that they don't update this at least once every 2 years. Still, a must-buy if you plan on going solo or off the beaten path. If you plan on hanging out with a tour group or locals, it's unlikely that you'll need this.
Essential for Tokyo January 20, 2008
Tokyo is incredible but difficult to navigate unless you have an accurate and detailed map. These maps contain all the essentials, even the subway exits. Even after many years living in Tokyo, I never go beyond my neighborhood without this book. I've tried most tourist maps of Tokyo but at best they provide an approximate guide. This book can prevent spending thirty minutes trying to find the correct exit out of Shinjuku station or walking a kilometer out of the way after surfacing at the wrong exit. Major landmarks are also labeled in English so you can remember what it's like to be literate.
