■ The only guidebook that 'properly' shows Singapore's compressed charm.
"This Is Singapore" is a guidebook based on the on-site experience of a "Singapore Tour Planner" who has personally designed the itinerary, accommodations, restaurants, and routes of independent travelers to Singapore.
It contains the know-how accumulated through thousands of consultations on where travelers get stuck and which choices can ruin their day.
We've been updating this guidebook by personally re-verifying the site whenever information changes, and thanks to this meticulous verification, it has established itself as the most trusted Singapore guidebook since its first publication in 2023.

■ From Departure to Return - An Overwhelming 'Full Package' of Singapore Travel Information
This book is organized according to the actual steps travelers face - deciding when to travel, choosing flights, prioritizing hotels, combining schedules, selecting data services, currency exchange, and transfers, and utilizing restaurant reservation apps and discount tickets - so you can naturally complete the preparations by following the pages.
Information that you need immediately after arrival, such as filling out the electronic arrival card, how to use Changi Airport, luggage storage and delivery, transportation cards and contactless payment, and recommended MRT stations and bus routes, is clearly organized with the most abundant maps, photos, and diagrams among domestic Singapore guidebooks, so that you can see only the necessary information right away.

■ [This Is] is the best for finding your way! Detailed and friendly traffic information that will make you gasp.
The biggest reason travelers trust the [This Is] series is its 'detailed yet easy-to-understand transportation information.'
[This Is Singapore] guides travelers step-by-step through the first steps they encounter, from moving between airport terminals to accessing the city center, using real-life footage.
It contains information on things to keep in mind about the subway (MRT), ticket charging and payment methods, recommended bus routes and stops, and essential transportation apps, so you can follow along right away. In particular, Sentosa, where cable cars, monorails, shuttles, and buses are intertwined, has a map with precise route maps and stop locations for each mode of transportation, so you can check the transfer points at a glance.

■ Singapore tourism, shopping, and restaurants at a glance in order of movement
Singapore, where each region offers different things to see, different ways to get around, and different charms during the day and night, makes your trip different depending on what you see and when.
This book organizes major areas such as Marina Bay, Riverside, Bugis, Little India, Chinatown, Orchard, Botanic Gardens, Katong, and Sentosa into 18 areas based on the most frequent travel patterns of actual travelers, and arranges key attractions, restaurants, and shopping spots in a natural, continuous order, so you can immediately see where to start and where to go.
Day and night visits are the best, and the moments when photos come out well, and the convenient routes are all visible at a glance, so the complicated city is quickly organized.

■ Singapore cannot be explained by one itinerary - hence the 25 courses
Singapore is a city where even with the same 3 nights and 5 days, the nature of your trip can completely change depending on choices like "whether to include Universal Studios," "whether to cut Sentosa to half a day," or "whether 2 nights and 4 days is enough."
[This Is Singapore] has compiled 25 practical courses based on these choices.
All courses are the result of the author's consultations with thousands of people and practical testing.
In particular, Sentosa is treated as a separate city, clearly guiding you on the order in which you should move to reduce wasted routes and when it is reasonable to decide on an express ticket.


■ 22 themes that accurately capture the essence of Singaporean cuisine
In Singapore, where food of different genres and levels of difficulty are concentrated in one city, 'what, where, and how to eat' is important.
This book organizes 22 themes into choices that travelers actually encounter on their itinerary, including hawker centers, food courts, local restaurants, chain stores, brunch, desserts, and drinks.
This is a practical gourmet guide that explains everything from how to eat kaya toast, how to choose chicken rice cuts, tips for choosing the right side of the chicken, and even the Singaporean way to order a coffee called "kopi."
It also includes information on chain restaurants and tips for using restaurants, including wet wipes, tips, waiting, and communicating with staff.


■ Shopping is a journey - A shopping guide to quickly find the store you need.
Singapore is a city where a significant portion of travel is spent in shopping malls due to its hot weather.
The shopping section of this book is structured around the question, 'How to find the store you want as quickly as possible.'
Popular brands and restaurants from 13 major shopping malls from Marina Bay Sands to VivoCity are organized by floor, so you can see where and what you can find at a glance. TWG, Basha Coffee, Yuyan Sang, traditional souvenirs, desserts, supermarkets, and convenience store items are all guided to the most accessible locations to minimize unnecessary movement.


■ Fail-proof hotel selection - A realistic accommodation guide that takes into account every traveler's situation.
Based on factors that significantly affect actual accommodation satisfaction, such as price, location, room condition, swimming pool, breakfast, and view, we present priorities for each situation, such as practical, luxury, traveling with children, traveling with parents, and couples.
Recommended hotels near eight major MRT stations can be located instantly on an illustrated map, and each hotel's cleanliness, facilities, breakfast, and service are balanced, including both pros and cons.
There are also plenty of helpful tips, such as room orientation, breakfast request criteria, why it's better to stay in the city for your last night, and free accommodation for children 12 and under.

■ The more you know, the more you see in Singapore - 9 stories that will increase the density of your trip.
Singapore is a city with many backgrounds that naturally draw curiosity during a trip, including its fine system, housing policy, education, colonial history, and multicultural society.
This book delves into nine stories that explore questions like, “Why are fines so high?”, “What does Little Red Dot mean?”, and “Why are housing types so different?”
It's a great read for those on planes, in their accommodations, or at cafes, and it completes the Singapore experience where things change the more you know.

■ The largest number of maps among domestic Singapore guidebooks - 102 practical maps
We've compiled 102 maps that travelers will actually need when they encounter something, organized by purpose.
From a broad city map, detailed regional maps, a structure map of landmarks, a map connecting MRT, buses, and airports, a map of the hotel area, a schedule map with recommended courses right at your fingertips, and even a portable, detachable map book, it's all designed to fit the situations travelers actually encounter.
Key information such as the nearest exit for each tourist attraction, route, and time required are also naturally incorporated into the map, reducing the stress of finding your way.
The detachable mapbook includes emergency response tips, essential conversations, and basic Malay expressions to enhance its usability.
