Practical Travel Guides

Combined Practical Travel Guides for Independent Travelers

JNTO's "Practical Travel Guides" are designed to help the English-speaking traveler enjoy an independent trip inexpensively to a popular destination or famous tourist site without further assistance.
Grouped by region, the Guides include such invaluable detailed information as means of transport, local area maps, briefing notes, and places to stay.

Note: Each practical travel guide is presented in the form of a PDF file. Acrobat Reader is required to view these files. You'll also need Japanese fonts to view and print them properly. The Japanese fonts can be downloaded from the Acrobat Reader home page.
