Though certainly a shopping paradise, Tokyo was once a daunting experience to even the most determined shopper from overseas. Though Japanese language guides abound, there was no help available
in English. Now help has arrived: in this handy, extensively researched guide, the author shares her massive data base of shopping outlets, with descriptions of the shops, objective commentary,
and other pertinent information and maps to over 600 shops in Tokyo. The alphabetic listing includes categories, cross-indexes and a Tokyo best list of particular favorites. The book also
features easy-to-read maps of areas and shops. From the highest quality (and prices) of the biggest international brand names to tiny trendy fashion shops that cater to the Harajuku teenager,
Tokyos shops are now readily accessible to anyone, from long-time resident to the first-time tourist.
