Me in Japan — three Tokyo guides and a trip planner

Overview

Me in Japan is the guide the internet doesn't give you — three in-depth digital guidebooks and an interactive trip planner, written from years of living and travelling in Japan, not scraped from the same twenty listicles everyone else reads.

This isn't a PDF you lose in your downloads folder. It's a living, web-based guide you unlock once and keep for life: Big in Japan, the 26-chapter main guide to over 700 places across Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and beyond; Tokyo Table & Bar, the eating-and-drinking guide to 170+ tables from pilgrimage sushi counters to walk-in ramen; and Tokyo, the Listening City, the music-lover's map to 80 record shops, listening bars, and live houses. Plus an interactive itinerary planner that turns all three into a day-by-day, hour-by-hour plan shaped around your dates, your cities, your budget, your pace, and what you actually care about.

Buy it once, use it for life. Every future update and addition to the guides is included at no extra cost — as Japan changes, so does your access. There's nothing to install and nothing to wait for in the post: the moment your payment clears, your access opens.

How access works — important: your access is tied to the email address you use at checkout. Sign in at meinjapan.com with that same email and everything you bought is there, on any device.

What's Inside

Big in Japan — the main guide

The heart of the bundle: 26 chapters, 700+ places. Tokyo's neighbourhoods, where to stay, the experiences worth your time, temples and parks, onsen and tea rituals, shopping, food, nightlife, day trips, Tokyo with kids, cinema, and full chapters on Kyoto, Osaka, and Okinawa — plus active Japan, anime and collecting, view terraces, the Japanese pantry, culture and etiquette, transport, and practical notes. This is your complete orientation to the country, not just the city.

Tokyo Table & Bar — the food & drink guide

Two big chapters, 170+ places. From the pilgrimage-grade sushi counters to the walk-in shops you can actually get into; ramen style by style; kaiseki, yakitori, tempura, soba; the cocktail masters and hotel bars; and the culture of the izakaya. Where to eat, what to order, and how.

Tokyo, the Listening City — the music guide

Six chapters, 80 places. Record and cassette digging, Tokyo's famous listening bars, live music houses, and the guitar-shop streets. The city heard through its music, mapped for people who travel for sound.

The Itinerary Planner

Enter your dates, your city or cities, party size, budget tier, pace, interests, and dietary needs — and the planner builds a day-by-day, hour-by-hour itinerary using only the places inside the guides: hotel, meals, sights, onsen, train transfers, a list of reservations to make, and warnings under each day. Plans can be shared by link and printed. You can generate up to three itineraries per account — enough for a trip and two variations. (Deleting a plan doesn't restore the slot.)

Everything is web-based and reads beautifully on a phone in your pocket while you're standing on a Tokyo street corner deciding where to go next.
