4 days in Tokyo -
04-09-2008, 09:38 AM
Hello!
We are 2 couples visiting Tokyo for 4 days in June. We want to experience the vibe of the city and do some sightseeing. We have never been to the city, so we need some recomendations for things to see and things to do. My experience with the big cities is that you often do all those tourist-trap-crap-things. We have only 4 days, so we want to do some good research, and hopefully have some good experiences alittle bit off the beaten track. So what do you suggest? Any perfect places (areas) for drinking, eating, partying, shopping etc. Is it any real good niche bars (Indie/jazz etc)? or places having interesting concerts? What is the best area to stay in? Can you recomend a nice good deal mid- range hotel in the heart of the city? Hope you can help us out (-: M

Spend one day at the Daiba, don't take a train, get off at shinbashi station and switch to the local Tokyo Metro line, I don't remember the station name (if someone can help), but get off one station before you hit the rainbow bridge, walk across the brdige, which is the best thing to do to have a great view
Night life: Shinjuku and Shibuya Shrine: Harajuku, there is also a nice temple in Kamakura, which is not far from Tokyo, also go to Asakusa for the Sensoji shrine Entertainment: Ueno, Akiba area... Allt hese should "cost" you about 3 days... the tokyo tower is one of those thing that you really want to go but will be a disappointment when you are up there....
