Small, simple, but one of the most practical books you'll find on how to get through a normal day in Japan, from having a bath to putting out the rubbish.   From the same series as the previous book but with the emphasis on Japanese culture. Concise and very useful.   Still the best companion for your travels around the country. Tells you what to see and where to stay.  
           
           
One of the original but still one of the best books for self-study of Japanese. Now revised and updated, and in a romanized version.   Despite living in Tokyo it's easy to get out into the country for a day. This book shows you how.   Excellent for studying Kanji. It shows the essential Kanji, taking you at a steady pace, with plenty of practice.  
           
           
Even if you don't learn Kanji, your experience in Japan will be enriched if you learn the kana characters. This book teaches you in an original and fun way.   There are lots of Eng>JP dictionaries out there but I've always found this one good. It's up to date and has the words you actually need and hear.   One of the better Japanese > Eng dictionaries. Uses both romanized and Japanese script.
