The Best of Japan is a good introductory text. I am planning my first-ever trip to Japan, and this book gave me an excellent overview of the cities/areas, which has helped me decide where I want to concentrate my time on this first visit. Being a "best of" guide, there is some depth of information missing in a few areas. However, those are things I can now check online, armed with a basic knowledge of what I would like to see and do. I plan to follow up this reading with a guide just for Tokyo, but this was a worthwhile book to skim through in the earliest planning stages. Recommended for first-time visitors looking to cover the basics fast.
