As your travel agent, I highly recommend preparing for your Japanese adventure by exploring some of the best guides and books for each destination. For Tokyo, the "Lonely Planet Tokyo" and "Tokyo: A Biography" by Stephen Mansfield will offer you fascinating insights into the city’s history and vibrant culture. For your Hakone and Kyoto stays, "DK Eyewitness Japan" and "The Rough Guide to Japan" are excellent comprehensive resources. If you’re interested in cultural context and stories, "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden (for Kyoto) and "Lost Japan" by Alex Kerr are both inspiring reads. For Osaka, "Osaka: The Merchant's Capital of Early Modern Japan" by James L. McClain is a wonderful choice. Don’t forget to check out online guides such as Japan-Guide.com for up-to-date travel tips. Enjoy your journey!
