10 days in Japan, needing advice - 03-27-2009, 07:03 PM

Hey everybody First post and so on..

Me and my wife are looking into a trip to Japan for roughly 10 days in late May or so. We're 27 and 24 and have never been to Japan before, but've been around South East Asia for 6 months. We're flying from Helsinki, Finland to either Osaka, Nagoya or Tokyo. I read hiragana, katakana and a few dozen kanji so it helps a bit. We're not exactly sure which city would be the best one for us, Osaka or Tokyo. We're on something of a budjet, not super duper tight but definitely not on infinite funds either. Not backpacking, that is.

Things we wanna do:
-shopping, I'm looking for music, movies, games, gadgets and some cool clothing. She's mostly in for the clothing
-see a few local sights like a temple, a museum or a castle.
-some theme park would be cool too.

What we're looking for in a hotel (other than the obvious low fare
-reasonably close proximity to public transportation, easy access to places.
-private bathroom (she's adamant on this, so no Sakura Youth Hostel I'm afraid

So please, anyone in the know of these things, shower me in a wealth of knowledge! Where should we stay? Thanks in advance
