Tokyo Lost



I have just bought a book (with a handy Christmas voucher) that seems to be the proverbial Bee's Knees on finding your way around and living in Tokyo. I know I will be based in Ichikawa city, Chiba, but Tokyo is such a sprawling, fascination metropolis that I thought a guide on the city (who isn't Rie) would be handy. "TOKYO -The Complete Resident's Guide" seems to have all the information a resourceful Gaijin like me needs.

However here are some links to websites for those of you thinking of visiting Tokyo.


http://www.tourism.metro.tokyo.jp/english/

This is the official city website. Useful for municipal information, and a solid place to start.

Lonely Planet are a travel institution and their guide on Tokyo is as well presented as you'd expect.

Not one of the "Big Fish", but still quirky enough to hold the travellers interest. It even provides some basic Japanese and the site is easy to negotiate.
