An "eye-opening" area that I visited was Takeshita Street. On the weekend I was there they closed a lot of the roads to cars and people roamed freely on the street.

Take the Yamanote Line...I don't have a map near me but it's Yamanote Line is a loop so hop on the train.. you will find it eventually

Much to see/do.. hmm... it's good people watching and definitely a place the young kids go.. interesting fashion


Oh, another place is Electronic Town (Akihabara)... there are lots of little shops as well as mega shops that will keep the tech-geek drooling for hours..

Have you seen any of the castles/temples? different side of Japan to maybe explore as well.

we went to akihabara today, sure its electronic town, but its also anime heaven.lol

ive never been around so much anime in my life. but it was cool to see the different culture. i havent been to the castles/temples yet but that is planned for like thursday or friday or something, i dont know what day it is, nor do i plan on figuring it out until its time for me to leave. i most certainly want to though, we ended up not going to j's racing today because my sister thought it was too far and too expensive from where we are.(maybe i can convince her)

i believe we are, because every where we go, is via the tokyo metro station. i was at odaiba the other night and its great, i went to the super autobachs there. as well as the hot springs, today we're just going to chill at the hotel, and recover from the madness, so no activity today. however i will take pics from around my hotel. supposedly the hotel sits on 10 acres so that should be exciting =)

Lol, in Asia, you end up doing a lot of walking. My feet were killing me every night, for the first few nights!
