To get around in Tokyo, the public rail system gives the most value-for-money, and gets you just about anywhere in the city. Do not invest in car rentals, or worse still, taxis, as they can be very expensive--and then, you get caught in rush-hour traffic.

Toyko is amazing, but also unbelievably expensive. You have to have a decent sum of money to make the visit worthwhile. Try and stay in a Ryokan while there...it's probably the cleanest, most interesting lower budget accommodation options you'll find anywhere in the world.

Take a day trip (by train) to the World Heritage Site, Nikko.

Shibuya goes off into 4-5 different routes and the first consist of the young shopping district catered to that audience. The one beside it is also a shopping district but is catered to adults with many more expensive department stores. Beside that is Nichome and this district is known for the only area open for the gay community. You'll find many different gay bars some allowing foreigners and others not. Next covers a lot of the eatery areas filled with bakery shops, cafe shops with girls in maid outfits and restaurants. Bring a lot of money with you as Tokyo is an expensive trip.

Best Electronic Shopping in the world. They have stuff that we won't see for 2 or 3 years.

For a place to stay, try booking K's House in Taito City, Tokyo. Try booking a week in advance for a dorm-style room or over two months in advance for the single. Great rates, comfortable beds, clean, friendly atmosphere great for meeting new people and all the amenities of home.

Odaiba is a must-visit. Hilltop Casita at azabu-jyoban is an excellent restaurant. Service is perfect and they have a rooftop place for desserts - awesome view and plush cushions.

Tant qu'à être au Japon, allons à Tokyo! Voilà dans quel état d'esprit j'ai débarqué à Tokyo. J'en suis ressorti en disant "Tokyo : ichiban!". J'ai adoré!! Je pensais que c'était juste la ville ultra moderne, pleine de gratte ciel. J'avais tout faux! En fait si on regarde les grandes avenues c'ets l'image qu'on aura mais si on s'aventure derrière ces lignes de gratte ciel, juste en s'enfoncant 50m derrière bien souvent on découvre des petites rues super paisibles, tout le monde à pied ou à vélo. J'ai adoré ces contrastes! Contraste... un mot qui décrit bien le Japon! Aussi une des plus grandes capitales du monde où on peut... pique niquer sur la plage!

Carry lots of bottled water with you! It gets incredibly hot during summer.

Shibuya, Harajuku and Asakusa is fun districts to visit. For electronic visit Akihabara district. A side trip to Kamajura is must.
