    4.0 out of 5 stars Mal empacado
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 4, 2023
    El libro venía mal empacado, fue una verdadera suerte que no saliera dañado. Guía muy completa, incluso con mapas, propuestas de itinerarios, sugerencias de souvenirs y compras y hasta historia conscisa de lugares importes.

    1.0 out of 5 stars This book is useless
    Reviewed in Canada on September 3, 2023
    This is garbage. It’s worse than not having a book at all. It’s extremely poorly written, full of useless facts presented in an illogical order.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Kwalitatief veel goede inhoud in een kwalitatief vorm
    Reviewed in the Netherlands on August 10, 2024
    Ik heb een paar boeken geprobeerd over reizen in Japan en ik heb gemengde gevoelens over dit boek. Het boek bevat enorm veel nuttige informatie en op basis hiervan zou ik het iedereen aanraden. (ik vond het zelfs beter dan de concurrentie)
    Maar het boek heeft 1 groot nadeel en dat is dat de kwaliteit van de blaadjes en de kaft echt ondermaats is. Ik was bang dat de pagina's zouden verscheuren met normaal gebruik van het boek. Daarnaast kun je niet alle inhouden lezen zonder het boek helemaal open te klappen, maar ik vreesde hierbij dat de blaadjes daardoor los zouden laten uit het boek.
    Heel jammer. Als de kwaliteit van het boek beter was dan had ik het zeker gehouden.
    Ik geef het uiteindelijk 4 sterren omdat ik de inhoud toch enorm goed vond en als je het niet erg als je boek beschadigd raakt raad ik het boek toch aan.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless guide
    Reviewed in Spain on April 13, 2024
    Quality is very poor. History section slim. Whole book is too small to have any real recommendations.
