"Cool Tokyo Guide is a "must-read" for anyone planning their once-in-a-lifetime trip, and also a delightful browse for armchair travelers!" --Midwest Book Review
"...the strongest point of the guide is the author's personality, which, along with those of her traveling companions, infuses the book with youthful energy and a spirit of joyful exploration.
