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

“Great guide for family vacation planning… I am probably looking forward to seeing Tokyo the most and I greatly appreciate all of the helpful information this guide has for the city. One of my main concerns is navigating around when there aren’t any signs in English, so I will definitely be studying up on the useful Japanese words and characters included. The itineraries will be good for planning day trips and I can’t wait to see the scenery and architecture pictured in real life!”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
