An airport transfer is not the same problem as finding the right station exit. And choosing a shopping stop before your flight is different from arranging luggage delivery. Here is how our English PDF guides fit together, so you can start with the part of your trip that matters to you.
Getting from Narita to your hotel, or navigating Tokyo stations?
Choose the Narita Airport to Shinjuku guide for the first journey after landing. Its evening-arrival story connects arrival procedures, train tickets, luggage, and onward travel. The transport comparison is useful when you are deciding how to get into the city.
Choose the Tokyo train station guide when you already know your destination but need to make sense of gates, exits, transfers, elevators, or station levels. It also covers IC-card problems and lost property. These two guides address different stages of the same journey.
Sending a suitcase ahead, or finding a shopping stop?
The Japan luggage delivery and Shinkansen baggage guide follows a suitcase from Tokyo to Kyoto, with an overnight Hakone stay along the way. Its focus is receiving arrangements, waybills, train baggage reservations, storage, and airport delivery.
The Don Quijote Japan shopping and airport-help guide is for arrival-day essentials and last-minute shopping before departure. It connects eight airports with airport shops or city stops along the route, then adds help with bags, charging, food, medicine, storage, and delivery. It does not mean every airport has a Don Quijote shop inside.
A useful late-night shop, or an evening around the counter?
The Japan konbini and convenience store guide looks beyond snacks: food labels, ATM withdrawals, printing, medicine categories, and parcel services appear as a traveler needs them. It is the everyday-errands choice.
The Shinjuku Omoide Yokocho food and alley guide is about settling into an evening. A fictional story sits alongside places to eat, suggested visiting times, nearby sights, and Japanese phrases for ordering and conversation. Choose it for food, atmosphere, and exploring the neighborhood.
Planning tax-free shopping around November 2026?
The Japan tax-free shopping and refund guide focuses on the November 2026 changeover, including receipts, departure checks, and the separate roles of Customs and the shop or refund provider. This is a pre-launch edition based on September 2026 information; specific procedures and the operational flow may change when the new system begins.
Want the first five topics in one PDF?
The Japan Travel Field Guide, Complete Edition 01-05 combines arrival, konbini, luggage, stations, and tax-free shopping in one 113-page PDF, with additional practical reference pages and linked navigation. It includes Guides 01-05 only. Don Quijote (06) and Shinjuku (07) are separate guides, not part of this edition.
All are digital PDFs in English, with practical Japanese phrases rather than full bilingual translations. Selected guides offer sample downloads through the Preview link on their product page. Browse all Japan travel guides to compare the covers, scope, and available previews.
PDF or printed book?
These guides are digital PDF downloads, not printed books or Kindle/EPUB editions. You can read the downloaded file offline in a PDF reader. Opening Google Maps and other external links requires an internet connection.
