Check my bucket list. It's on there somewhere.

If you want to see the East and a bit of real Japan Tokyo's probably the last place in Japan you want to go. It's just a big ol' melting pot city with, and I'm sorry to say this, really a lot of similarities to just about every other big ol' melting pot city in the world. Go to somewhere smaller. Heck, Japan's not even anything like the rest of Asia at all. If you really really want a "totally different world" go to the Mekong delta or somewhere where you can really have a "Toto we're not in kansas" moment.
And if it's important enough to be on your bucket list, spend more than 7 days doing it or it's not really worth the long-haul flight.
