Editorial Reviews
"Useful suggestions about how to spend some enjoyable free days in Tokyo and its surrounding areas, without splashing out much cash."- Marshall Hughes, Goods From Japan
"I will be keeping this book for my next trip, and look forward to being able to explore Tokyo like a local, with Baxter's help." - Mike Henderson, LibraryThing
"I would recommend this book to anyone visiting Tokyo that wants to get a little off the beaten path and do some exploring on foot or by bike. While years ago I frequented many of the areas covered in the book, I wish it had been available then as several times I found myself wishing I had known about something amazing that was just a couple of block from where I had been." - Paul Russell, LibraryThing
