Super Deep Japan Guides 01-05 - Complete Field Edition
Includes Guides 01-05 only; Volumes 06 and 07 are sold separately.
What does a Narita Express ticket actually include? Can your hotel receive a suitcase while you spend a night in Hakone? What happens to a tax-free refund if one item is missing?
This guide answers thirty situations like these through short travel stories followed by a practical page with the price, rule and next step. It is for English-speaking visitors who want to understand everyday travel in Japan, not another list of sightseeing spots.

MADE TO USE DURING THE TRIP
A clickable two-page index opens all thirty field answers. Topic links and PDF bookmarks help you move between sections. Every answer page includes Japanese you can show staff and links to supporting evidence. Google Maps search links cover Narita Terminal 1, Shinjuku, Tokyo Station and Kyoto Station.
The complete edition brings the five topic guides together and adds a separate 13-page reference: six short cases, a decision map, eight show-to-staff cards, an evidence ledger and a save card. It includes the additional reference and navigation; it is not a discount on buying the five individual issues.

Scene illustrations are labelled and are not documentary photographs. This is an independent guide, not a government or transport-operator publication. Links require internet access.
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED
This is a downloadable reading guide. Transport tickets, attraction admission, reservations and live travel assistance are not included. Read the downloaded PDF offline; external maps, official pages and booking links need internet. Recheck current timetables, prices and rules for your travel date.
