Fun things to do in Tokyo?

[smiley1437]

I'm going to be in Tokyo for a couple of weeks, just wondering if anyone else has been there and if there is anything in particular they would recommend?

Thanks!

Drive like a Canadian....Was that politically incorrect?

Onsen, bullet trains, hike up Mt Fuji...

Walk thru RLD, tour of love hotel & sex shop, people watching outside of Shinjuki station.

Sayonara

Take the subway to Asakusa station and spend a few hours walking around.
This is one of the old parts of town that wasn't destroyed in WWII, it's filled with temples, markets and amazing architecture.

Go to the top of Tokyo Tower late in the afternoon and stay to see the city at night.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you how expensive food in Tokyo is. That's only if you order steaks from room service at your hotel. If you eat what the locals eat you'll get much better and more nourishing food for less money than any big city I can think of. Check out the Ramen noodle carts, the sushi at the convenience stores, the little cafes that sell gyoza and yakisoba.

go to shibuya, shinjuku and ginza thats where the night action is or if you wanna check out some japanese fads go to harajuku.

Love the Ramen carts...slurp...

And the riceballs @ 7-11, perfect for food on the good, especially in bullet train.

Food at Department store basement or top level are for OL & Salarymen. Or those All-you-can-eat sushi place with conv. belts, just follow the crow.

Have fun.
