Hi Sonja:

The best field guide is Mark Brazil's "Birds of East Asia", although it is
not so light. Another good one is "A Photographic Guide to the Birds of
Japan and North-east Asia" by Tadao Shimba.

There is an app for birds of Japan, which you can download from iTunes but
it doesn't cover all birds recorded in Japan.

Cheers,

John
