Translation

ガイドブック / 旅行ガイド / 案内書

Meaning

A book of information about a place, written for tourists or travelers. 'The Lonely Planet guidebook recommended a small family restaurant near the station.' Also called a 'travel guide'. In modern English, travelers also refer to 'online guides', 'travel apps', and 'review sites' (like TripAdvisor) — these have largely replaced physical guidebooks, but the concept and vocabulary remain the same.

Examples

• 旅行前にガイドブックで観光スポットをチェックした。
  I checked the tourist attractions in the guidebook before the trip.
• そのガイドブックにはレストランや交通機関についての有用な情報が載っていた。
  The guidebook had useful information about restaurants and transport.
