Tokyo Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Tokyo, where the counter is yours.

Take the counter seat Tokyo expects you to want, browse Tsukiji Outer Market and the depachika food halls, and spend a day in Kamakura or Hakone, in a city with low crime.

Eat alone: ramen properly understood, Tsukiji Outer Market, an izakaya for one.

See: Yanaka, Asakusa, Kagurazaka, Nikko and Kawagoe.

Feel safe: cars reserved for women and a polite way past Kabukicho touts.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
