Here 's what the hearts mean:  \n Recommended  \n Highly Recommended  \n A must! Don 't miss!  \nAN IMPORTANT NOTE  \nThe world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and buses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about these hotels, restaurants, museums, and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nLIST OF MAPS  \n1 THE BEST OF JAPAN  \n2 JAPAN IN CONTEXT  \nJapan Today  \nThe History of Japan  \nTraditional Arts  \nEtiquette  \nThe Japanese Language Eating & Drinking in Japan Tips on Accommodations When to Go  \nCalendar of Events  \n3 SUGGESTED JAPAN ITINERARIES  \nThe Regions in Brief  \nSuggested Itineraries  \nFor First-Timers: Japan in 1 Week Japan in 2 Weeks  \nHonshu World Heritage Tour Japan for Families  \nNorthern Japan Road Trip 5-Day Shikoku Modern Art Tour  \n4 TOKYO  \nThe Best Tokyo Experiences Essentials  \nFast Facts: Tokyo  \nExploring Tokyo  \nCity Strolls  \nWalking Tour 1 : Searching for Old Edo, a Walking Tour of Asakusa Walking Tour 2: Pop-Culture Tokyo, a Stroll Through Akihabara & Ueno Organized Tour","cbCaivu8masVVkoU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivu8masVVkoU","pdf",106185014,4,1,1033,"English","en",105,"# Japan Today\n## The History of Japan\n## Traditional Arts\n## Etiquette\n## The Japanese Language\n## Eating & Drinking in Japan\n## Tips on Accommodations\n## When to Go\n## Calendar of Events\n\n# Suggested Japan Itineraries\n## For First-Timers: Japan in 1 Week\n## Japan in 2 Weeks\n## Honshu World Heritage Tour\n## Japan for Families\n## Northern Japan Road Trip\n## 5-Day Shikoku Modern Art Tour\n\n# Tokyo\n## The Best Tokyo Experiences\n## Essentials\n## Fast Facts: Tokyo\n## Exploring Tokyo\n## City Strolls\n## Where to Stay in Tokyo\n## Where to Eat in Tokyo\n## Tokyo Shopping\n## The Performing Arts\n## Tokyo Nightlife\n\n# Side Trips from Tokyo\n## Kamakura, Ancient Capital\n## Nikko\n## Mount Fuji\n## Hakone\n## Yokohama\n\n# The Japan Alps\n## Matsumoto\n## Shirakawa-go & Ogi machi\n## Hida Takayama\n\n# Kyoto & Nara\n## Favorite Kyoto Experiences\n## Essentials\n## Getting Around\n## Fast Facts: Kyoto\n## Exploring Kyoto\n## Where to Stay in Kyoto\n## Where to Eat in Kyoto\n## Kyoto Shopping\n\n# Western Honshu\n## Nagoya\n## Ise-Shima National Park\n## Kanazawa\n## Temples of Koyasan\n## Hiking the Kumano Kodo\n## Himeji\n## Kurashiki\n## Matsue\n## Yunotsu Onsen\n## Hiroshima\n\n# Osaka & Kobe\n## Favorite Osaka Experiences\n## Essentials\n## Exploring Osaka\n## Where to Stay in Osaka\n## Where to Eat in Osaka\n## Osaka Shopping\n## Entertainment & Nightlife\n## Side Trip to Kobe\n\n# Shikoku\n## Takamatsu\n## The Art Islands\n## Side Trip to Kamikatsu\n## Matsuyama & Dogo Spa\n## Kochi\n\n# Kyushu\n## Fukuoka\n## Nagasaki\n## Unzen Spa\n## Kagoshima\n## Yakushima\n## Beppu\n\n# Okinawa\n## The Best Okinawa Experiences","[{\"question\":\"What does Frommer’s Japan include besides regional recommendations?\",\"answer\":\"It includes Japan Today context like history, traditional arts, etiquette, and language guidance, plus tips on accommodations and timing with a calendar of events.
