Anyway about your last post.. Our budget (combined) is somewhat around €4500-€5000 (Rougly $6000-$6700). Also, I think we will want to reside somewhere in or around Shibuya since it seems like our cup of tea with lots of shops, especially Shibuya 109 looks amazing.. Isn't that where the Shibuya intersection is ?
Yokohama is (As far as I'm concerned) definitely a place we'll want to visit. You've given me some names, I've looked it up and it seems awesome. It'd be better than wandering off in Shibuya everyday anyway. About Odaiba, I don't know, I don't know anything about it. It that a place that's like, well, connected to Tokyo but it's in the water ? Whenever I look it up on Maps, it says Odaibadaba or w/e xd.
By the way, I'm having a hard time finding a decent hotel near Shibuya on that site you gave me, they're all either like €150/night or they're already full. Do you happen to know a place, somewhere you've been before or heard of ? Thanks in advance, again.

Try these guys, they are about 10-15 minutes walk from the main Shibuya station:
Tokyo Japan Hotel Fukudaya they usually have english spoken staff at the front counter...
It may cost you about 70-80 USD per person per night, but I will try to look for another place for you (JHN)
Odaiba is mostly shopping, I consider it a giant "Entertainment" island.. you can find all kind of specialty store there, there are a couple of museum and the fuji-TV observagtory there.. lots of things to buy at the souvenir store there... (I am big into souvenir.. for myself)... you can get more info abot odaiba here:

I think you will have a blast at the toyota museum there.... I did
When you are in Harajuku make sure you pay attention to your surroundings and know where you are, as I would recommend doing some exploring in inner streets, there are lot of specialty stores in the inner streets..
