I wrote the latest edition of the Frommer’s Japan guidebook, which includes travel tips, itineraries, restaurant and hotel reviews, off-beat recommendations, and notes on Japanese culture and history. The Frommer's guidebooks have been on bookstore shelves for 65 years and remain a best-selling series in North America. Over the decades, they’ve sold more than 75 million guidebooks and are still one of the most-trusted names in global travel.
Published in winter 2025/26, you can order it on Amazon or Frommer’s online bookstore.
Praise for Frommer’s Japan
“The new Frommer’s Japan guide is a great example of why guidebooks written by human beings who live in the country they write about still matter…Computers can compile information, but they don’t eat ramen in tiny neighborhood restaurants or feel the difference between a traditional comfy ryokan or sterile hotel room, or ever understand how to navigate the cultural nuances that make a visit meaningful. That human element shines through on every page of Frommer’s Japan. The writing is clear, practical, and full of thoughtful details that help travelers move beyond simply seeing Japan to actually experiencing it.” — Amazon Reviews
“Fantastic guide for our trip to Japan! It made our trip, from the outstanding dining recommendations to the excellent background info on all the sites and attractions. We're now planning our next trip to Japan with this book. Highly recommend.” — Amazon Reviews
