CLASKA hotel has just launched an iPhone app version ($2.99) of their bilingual Tokyo guide book. If you’re not familiar with the original analog version, the guidebook tapped into the collective knowledge of the Tokyo creative scene by interviewing over 60 “savvy Tokyoites” for their favorite local destination.
Contributors include Masamichi Katayama (Wonderwall), Akira Minagawa (mina perhonen), Hideki Inaba (graphic designer) and Marxy (neojaponisme)
I actually just tried out the app and loved it! Very easy to navigate the app itself, and all the different locations, which can be accessed via map (which makes it easy to identify nearby locations), or by contributor. I also like the bookmarking feature so that you can remember any locations that peaked your interest.
