Hi, I recently booked my first trip to Tokyo(Shinjuku) starting the 30th April. Since the booking I have found this is whats known as Golden Week, a national public holiday.

Is it a bad idea going on the dates I have booked, or should I try and move it? Are shops still open and tourist locations. The missus wants to see the landscape(me too) but I also want to hit up the tech areas and get a few new gadgets. Would this still be possible?

We will be staying in the Shinjuku Washington Hotel, which Im told is small, but thats fine as its only somewhere to sleep. Is it easy to travel around from this area?

Thanks in advance, Philip
