"I would recommend this book to anyone visiting Tokyo that wants to get a little off the beaten path and do some exploring on foot or by bike. While years ago I frequented many of the areas covered in the book, I wish it had been available then as several times I found myself wishing I had known about something amazing that was just a couple of block from where I had been." - Paul Russell, LibraryThing
