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

Acutally, that is THE WEEK that you want to be in Japan, its true that it will be really really BUSY, but you get to see another side of the culture.. you will have a blast
