Summary: Do not go to Tokyo without this Atlas!
Comment: The previous reviews are right on target; This is a wonderful atlas! This book actually got me "un-lost" once when I had been foolish enough to set off without looking at it first. I was able to check the chome (sub-ward) and block numbers on the nearest lamp post and instantly figure out where I had wandered off to! My family uses it all the time, we even went out and bought a second copy so my husband & I could each have one!

Summary: Everyone who travels to Tokyo needs this book!
Comment: This book is a must! I visited Tokyo for the first time in April, and by the second day, I was leading my friends who had been in Tokyo several times before!! Finding locations by address is no problem with this atlas. It completely de-mystifies the address system in Tokyo.
This book also helped me map out routes to specific destinations. Since all the train station entrance / exit door numbers are marked on the maps, I could see in advance exactly which station exit I should take to get closest to my destination. - Invaluable when you're getting off the train in a gigantic station like Shinjuku, because taking the wrong exit can quite literally get you lost!
Everyone who travels to Tokyo needs to have this book in their bag!

Summary: Do Not Visit Tokyo Without This! You Need It!
Comment: I visited Tokyo for 4 weeks, and thought I could probably get some use out of this atlas. Probably wouldn't have picked it up if I were going for just a week.
However, it turned out that I desperately needed it my first day! My husband & I visited Shinjuku and were trying to find Isetan, the major department store, in time for opening so we could see the opening ritual (all the employees bow and greet you). We didn't bring this atlas and were instead working from the map in the Lonely Planet Tokyo Condensed. Big mistake! The Lonely Planet maps were dead wrong. They didn't show subway exit numbers (there are about 40 exits out of Shinjuku - to get where you want to go, you should probably know which want to use). We wandered for an hour and got on each other's nerves and then finally stumbled across Isetan by sheer luck.
If we had had this map with us, we would have known exactly which subway exit to use and how to get there, and would have been in time for the opening ceremonies!
Tokyo is hard to get around. If you're going to visit it, even for a week, make your life much easier, and get this atlas. Spend your time seeing what you want to see, instead of stumbling around lost and frustrated!
I am proud to say, btw, with this map, I haven't gotten lost once in Tokyo - something that has impressed my Japanese friends!
