Many tourists will be attracted by temples and shrines of the historic cities, as for me, I prefered to have a look at the modern side of the town. Shibuya Shinjuku and Ikebukoro are the main "young-people's" places, have a walk in "Tokyo Hands" see those toys man, they won't be out in europe for another 5 years. Shibuya is like the core spending area of tokyo, All the latest Japanese brands sold at less than the price of when they might come out in europe... Anyone into arcades? well these places have the biggest arcades in asia, just pick a game you are good at and prepared to get slaughtered by those Japanese games freaks.^_^ OK, clubs, bars, pubs... well you will find one on every street in Shinjuku and Shibuya, and getting around is not that difficult, just take the train! keep on the circlular line and explore every station!

Hi There, more details such as transport around Tokyo, how cheap is it? Are there any customs which we should expect such as 1/2 day Wednesday closing? Another tip is to look at your layout as I found it hard to read with no paragraphs. If you need any other advice just pop into my guestbook and I will try to help. Love Louise

Advantages: With a short visit you'll still be gagging for more and you get better value for money than London Disadvantages: Some may find it impersonal, my feet were so sore by the end and its another long review!
