Synopsis "Tokyo? No Problem (in English)"

No Problem - a comprehensive, hands-on book dedicated to the newcomer to 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 and fear of moving abroad, but also hasten integration into Japanese society in a calm, pleasant manner.
