TokyoTomo Travel Guide

Michelin will soon be releasing its first comprehensive guide to Japan, Michelin Green Guide Tokyo, scheduled for Sep.21. Michelin has awarded 17 sites with three-star ratings, as must-see spots; the Nikko Toshogu Shrine, the village of  Shirakawa-go, Himeji Castle, Yakushima, Kyoto, Nara and Mt Takao just outside of Tokyo to name a few.

The guide is divided into regions, introducing you to the best of Japan with in-depth coverage of Tokyo and Kyoto, and other destinations in Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa, and Hokkaido. The easy-to-use Michelin maps will help guide you around town, highlight tour routes and identify the very best sights by star rating. Detailed walking tours make you your own tour guide on the road less traveled.

Of course, no Michelin publication would be complete without restaurant recommendations. Accommodations and restaurant recommendations feature in the address books throughout the guide, where you will find entertainment venues and everything from the revered tea ceremony to nabemono, the Japanese fondue and, of course, sushi.
