In Tokyo!

I'll be there in 3 weeks. Cool! Any recommendations for things to do?

have a hotel concierge or an English and Japanese speaking person book your taxis if thats how youre getting around. they can be expensive, so watch it. uhm i would go visit Shibuya district, beer vending machines are always fun. check out the crossing, around noon, and on friday nights or weeknights when everyones is there. it is as insane as they say, no jokes.

go look on the video screen down the street from the crossing, wait there and get pics of Terry Walnuts on the screen in fuckin Tokyo. blew my fucking mind. thread in SG.

I love Tokyo.  Don't use those taxis though, you can get across the city with a train for 4 or 5 bucks.  I recommend you sight see by day, party by night.  Make sure you get out of the city at least one day and go to the Izu peninsula or Mt. Fuji to hike (probably not now) or something.  There is so much to do it's hard to know where to go first.  Don't waste any days there.

I really want to go skiing there.  It would be sick to go Heliskiing in Japan also.

I think that I might just have to go!

The only way I can accurately describe Tokyo is the fulfillment of every child's dream to shrink down in size and wander around inside of a dayglo pinball machine.

i wanna go over there it looks soo fun one of my buddies is goin over to japan for 2 months to chill and ski and film for this years movie im jealous.

I just got back from Japan on Sunday. While Tokyo is sick, it really feels like New York City, where I was born and have lived all my life. Some parts of Tokyo feel like a more crowded, but bigger manga-covered Times Square. On the other hand there are much quieter parts of Tokyo and more upscale areas. I stayed in Tokyo for about 3 days and I really feel that that is more than enough to experience the neon-covered parts of the city.A little note on transportation: Taxis are not worth it. The public system is much more efficient (the average delay for trains in Japan was 36 seconds, in 2007) and much cheaper (¥180-260 one way for the Tokyo Metro). I live in a fairly wealthy family and we (my dad and I were the only ones who went - father-son trip) pretty much took the subway around the city. This was not a claim. A side note is that it never got as cowded as the videos on Youtube show, but sometimes this really does happen, especially during the morning/evening rush hours.
