A Guide to… the guides

The first guide is up!

The guides are intended to assist and hopefully enlighten, though not tyrannise. If you’re after a quick reference, contact details or map, then head over to The Directory.

Guides are generally be broken down into the following sections:

Overview: basic info.
Background: a little history & context.
Visit: why, what, where, when & how.
Tips & Advice: nuggets.
My Way: personal anecdotes & how I did things. Learn from my cock-ups how not to do things.

Itineraries will also be published, providing suggestions on how to string the various activities together into a day to remember.

Itineraries will be available in easy to print pdf files (gathered in Guides & Omake). The page can be folded into a neat-O four page booklet. No need to carry around that heavy, bulky guidebook anymore! Ain’t that swell?

Chibimichi (little streets) are, as the name suggests, supplement guides and itineraries. They cater for special interests or those who like to stay on the go.

As countless wise men and fools will tell you, all things are subject to change. Guides are accurate as I can make them, and always subject to updates. Tokyo is especially subject to a dizzying pace of change.

Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy the guides.

Let’s go exploring!
