In preparation for my trip to Japan, I bought this guide is very comprehensive to discover daily life in Japan such as education, work, housing and all stuff like that. This is perfect for those who really want to discover the country by putting a magnifying glass on society and the life of every day and not on superficial things. It was really a view from the inside and not touristy. But it's not too expensive so it can be combined with another guide more "touristy" if you want the best addresses ...
