The Tokyo Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.

So what's your kind of Tokyo? A fresh sushi breakfast and fashion-shopping in Ginza? An afternoon relaxing in the haze of an onsen? Downing sake in the down'n'dirty alleys of the Golden Gai? All of the above?

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.
