Pros: Excellent Train/subway system, People with Hospitality
Cons: Too complicated transportation system for first time visitors
EXPENSIVE!!!

I have been to Tokyo with my japanese friend, thus I was not really afraid of being lost in the middle of city. Thanks to JR Pass, the subway/train cost was taken care of, but for those people just visiting tokyo area, they REALLY need to think where ...

Pros: The Disney experience at its very best.
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Though just inside Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo DisneySea is considered a local attraction for Tokyo area residents and visitors alike. It is located alongside Tokyo Disneyland on a probably man-made peninsula that juts into the north end of Tokyo Bay. Rail ...

Pros: Fun, good for kids
Cons: Crowded

In form and function, Tokyo Disneyland is exactly like Disneyland in Los Angeles. However, due in part to the Japanese fascination with all things American, there is a sense of excitement here, not just among kids but in the adults as well, that is not...

Pros: Quick, unusual opportunity to get an idea of Japan
Cons: Pay close attention to the time - don't miss your flight!

Pros: safe, clean, fun, exciting
Cons: can be pricey

I have visited Tokyo two times, very recently might I add. Tokyo is an amazing place to visit. The city is a splendor of music, lights, and buildings. Some say the city is ugly or just a concrete city but there is so much to see and do. Tokyo is a ...

Pros: Cheaper than Ginza, wide variety, fabulous temple
Cons: very busy and crowded

After you've blown all your Yen in the Ginza shopping district. this is the place to go to get those 'tourist' gifts for the folks back home. Plus you get to visit the Asakusa Sensoji Temple as an added bonus.

The best way to describe Asakusa...

Cons: Unless you are VERY wealthy spend your time else where...

Being an American student attending a Japanese University, I can tell the best places with out leaving your wallet empty. Tokyo is definitely NOT a place to go. If you want to experience TRUE Japan, go to Osaka, Nara, or Kyoto... There they have...

One of the best FREE attractions to check out in Tokyo is the Tsjkiji Fish Market. See and eat the freshest fish in the world! One of the largest fish markets in the world, 90% of the country's fish come through here. See huge frozen tuna almost as big...

Pros: Wonderful social experience--a MUST do if you can
Cons: EXTREMELY ASTRONOMICAL PRICE (unless your boss picks up the check, of course!)

My first encounter with the idea of GEISHA GIRLS was as a kid in school. There of course I was led to believe that Geisha Girls were on the same lines as the Notorious "B" Girls of questionable repute....Boy, was I WRONG!!

Let me...

Pros: Great price, pretty comfy, nice bath
Cons: Not much privacy, only three nights allowed

Avoid extortionate hotel rates and stay in the world's finest youth hostel! At $40/night, it's hardly a pittance, but compared with multi-hundred dollar hotel rooms, it's a good place to be.

The Tokyo International Youth Hostel is on the 18th...
