Many guides to Japan try to be all things to all people - the tourist/newcomer combined - with bits and pieces of information scattered about - with no or minimal emphasis on acquiring the language. These books are like a Jack of all trades but a master to none. Then there is Tokyo? No Problem. Tokyo? No Problem is a comprehensive, concise, well-written book dedicated solely to the newcomer moving to or living in Japan. It presents the information newcomers want to know and need to know while helping them acquire the Japanese language - gradually. For a newcomer, having the right information and the knowledge how to use it will not only reduce the stress of moving abroad, but also hasten integration into Japanese society in a surprisingly pleasant manner. With this take-everywhere guide, the user will be able to decipher accommodation ads, secure desired lodging, set up house, fill out forms, subscribe to services, decode signs, read labels, order in restaurants/bars, identify grocery items, relay health matters, cope with emergencies, shop with assurance, travel with confidence and so much more - all while using Japanese. Moreover, there are sections on handling visa changes, tax filings, health insurance, legal matters and a myriad of other administrative dealings that the newcomer will surely encounter during their stay.
