http://www.worldsbestbars.com/ci…- I say "aye" to all except the New York bar (unless you plan to do whatever Murray did). The drinks are perfectly mixed, but being slapped with entrance and a tab of 100$ just for getting a drink or two (plus cigarr. Small selection) doesn't make it worthwhile. At least not for me. Hit up another skyscraper (they're all close by their in Shinjuku) less crowded and correctly priced.
Heard there's one that serves drinks in glowing glasses. A review could probably be found here: www.bento.comPeter

Have a blast. You're just in time for hanami (cherry trees and the blossoming thereof); you'll see a fair share of boozed-up knocked-out salarymen who paints each faces with crayons. And me, maybe.
Bring a bunch of small gifts to your J-friends. In return they'd show you secret (and good) finds.

Bukkake, fun times for everyone. You probably want to make sure you're on the giving end though.

You're there for the annual three-day Kanamara (Iron Phallus) Festival which celebrates the Lord Iron Penis. You're nephew will dig it.

If you have the chance to get out of Tokyo and see the country, do it. That's the one thing I regret from when i went there in 2006 - the friend I was visiting was being cheap.
I had a blast there - if you want to go somewhere awesome, try and find Namjatown where there exists a section called Ice Cream City. They have shark ice cream! Garlic ice cream! Everything ice cream!
Above all, remember this: pink signs mean services, you know what I mean.

Watch this documentary before you go, could be helpful. Also, try to meet Scarlett Johansson while you're there, I think thats what the tourists do.
Seriously though, enjoy, I hear its a fantastic place. Some friends of mine went on their honeymoon and they loved it and said it wasn't as pricey as they thought it was gonna be.

Thanks everyone, I somewhat planned the trip around Hanami and got very lucky. The plan is to hit Yoyogi Park at noon on Sunday for a party sponsored by youtube.
- Call me up that night, I'll be drinking with a bunch of designkids from my old university. It'd be 1-2 stations away from there.Peter

"109" every floor has like 15 shops each pumping the worst techno aat the highest volume each has 20 plus employees all greeting you like they are on speed-crack, if you make it up to the top floor you will start to think them girls are all saying "SESAME SAND" but they are greeting you... its funny for a minute...after you leave right across the street is an arch-way with a pac-man symbol on it... if you go up that way you will reach all them LOVE-HOTELS!!! also goto all the BEAMS in that area... there is a CitiBank across thestreet from that 9 floor starbucks oh yeh ... PLAY ARCADE!!!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Try Piricura- some silly photo booth, it's fun!
On-sen: hot bath and spa..Outside Tokyo is better but they have big one in Tokyo too
eat load of sushi if you can..some restaurant open till 4am.
Ramen is good too.
TOKYO hand- in Shubuya, big tall building near the station..you will find everything there...( you should have atleast 5 hrs)
Kinokuniya- ( Next building to Tokyo Hand) Massive book store, a heaven for geeks and artists
Harajuku- To see some strange fashion style but if you walk down till the end, cross the main road..behind all the shops ..walk along railway there're more than 40 shops of vintage and unique clothes ( not the strange one tho)Hope this help!

Don't read In The Miso Soup on the plane

i'd second the point about it not being as expensive as you'd expect. except for train travel and some accomodation.
You can do things cheaply though - like eat noodles and tempura in those little bars with the plastic dishes in the window and ticket vending machines - hard to explain but you'll see what I mean. Don't drink beers in hotels etc.
generally you should just soak up the vibes and explore/try/taste as much as you can.
do you know anyone living there? We hooked up with someone we knew so within a few hours we were in a roof garden drinking/smoking weed looking out over the city and then onto a club in some warehouse in a docks area.
amazingly mad.
