Here's a link to another thread I posted... https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=380828

Basically Ill be in Japan for a few days and I'd like to see what people that have been there would recommend for me to see or do. I'll be alone so nothing too tricky please!

 

Do you know where you will be staying? If you are in Tokyo, you will easily fill two or three days in just parts of the city. Probably taxi/bus in from the airport, and use the rail system to get around Tokyo, but be sure to walk and take pics - lots of cool stuff to see. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2164.html

Feeling jet lag, prepping for sleeping on the flight home? Go to the fish market maybe - http://www.tsukiji-market.or.jp/youkoso/welcom_e.htm

Get some culture at Roppongi - http://www.roppongihills.com/en/

Harijuku has trendy stores, and you may get to see the Harijuku Cosplayers if you go on a Sunday morning - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3006.html

The Ginza district is all shopping - some nice high end stores, and the Sony technology museum is pretty cool, but everything for sale is from the USA and Europe it seems. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3005.html

Ueno Park is a nice place to walk though. The Kabuki theater seems like a good idea, but not sure if you want to spend a lot of time watching obscure opera.

Here's a good article for you - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10071107/

And remember the street signs are mostly in kanji, so you'll need to navigate by memory and landmarks.

damn i need to take a trip to japan sometime soon, have fun

 

Dude this thread is perfect. I JUST came on here to post the same thing.

I've already been to Japan, but I'm going again in a month for business again. The only thing I had time for last time was the Ginza area.
I'm planning on staying in Tokyo an extra day or two for some sightseeing.
What are some good areas in Tokyo to walk around, snap pics, enjoy the culture etc...

Boostluvr when will you be in Japan? I'm going May 20-29
but I'll be in Tokyo the 26-29

 

I too will be going to Japan soon. I got a buddy stationed there in the Air Force, and he gave me an open invite. All I gotta do is pay for my flight, he said me and my woman can stay on base with him, and he'll drive us around in his Silvia But I might have to leave the girl at home, I don't wanna get in trouble for checking out to much JDM booty

 

I'm going to the Philippines from May 11- June 5th or 6th and stopping in Japan on my way back from June 5th or 6th- the 12th.
