Hey all I know I don't post here very often any more but I am off to Tokyo on Feb 20th (this is only my second trip first was last year in feb) main reason is record buying but I'll be on my own this year so I wondered if any of you fine folks that have been before had any recommendations for things to do (My record shopping is mapped out) Food, Drinks & interesting stuff appreciated.
Ghibli Museum, Mitaka (Tickets must be bought in advance, i bought mine from a LAWSON store when i was in Tokyo). http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/ticket-information/ A visit to Akihabara (Electric Town) http://akiba.or.jp/english/ A visit to Shinjuku and Kabukicho Also check out the amazing view at the top of one of the TOCHO's towers (The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building). http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3011_tocho.html Check out Shibuya, especially at night.
Moog pretty much said it all. Personally, I went to Shinjuku to check out Square Enix and the Capcom Cafe, but not sure if that's your steez. Also, Harajuku on Sundays, though pretty nuts with foot traffic, is super rad to walk through. Especially Takeshita Alley outside the station. Yoyogi Park is a really nice, calm walkthrough, as well. I'd also recommend Nakano Broadway. Akiba and Shibuya were my most visited spots, though.
