On Sunday go to Yoyogi Park to see the bands that playing on the street and the rockabillys dancing. Also we are having sakura blossom this weekend. Everyone goes to the parks to do picnic and drink lots of sake.
Roppongi Hills has a great view of the city, on 54th floor.
Another great view is in that Lost in Translation hotel... it is in Shinjuku.
Go to Shibuya! Get of in Hachiko exit. They have that huuuge crossing there!!!! Also stores, bars, karaokes and disc stores.
Hope you enjoy here. I just love Tokyo!!!

As for cost (as a few people mentioned), I didn't think it was too bad, but I'm used to San Francisco. It certainly wasn't cheap like Beijing, and still more than SF, but not as crazy as I expected. Taxi's will cost you about 7.25USD right when the door closes.... oh, and DO NOT TOUCH TAXI DOORS! They open and close autmatically. Don't yank them around or risk pissing the taxi driver off!
in Shibuya there is a place called Hub bar, which is a pub style bar. Usually will have a lot of forign people, but a good place to find people to party with.
Take pics and share when you return. Hopefully you have a lot of fun!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government buildings in Shinjuku is open to the public and you can go up to the top floor for a great view around tokyo and mount Fuli in the distance. It's 46 floors up and it's free.

Just walk about, it's brilliant all of it. I liked the bit between (excuse the spelling) Shinjuku and Ikebukero which has some wicked shops. All boutiquey like. I remember Ebisu being pretty cool too.
Make sure you hit some Onsen for a bit of naked bathing.
Andon Ryoken is a cool little place to stay. Cheap and oh so wonderfully designed... http://www.andon.co.jp/
Stay somewhere on the circle line:
- Thanks..adding the Andon link rto my bookmarks...TheBlueOne
- yeh can't go wrong with £40 for a room for 2 people. Doesn't get much cheaper than that.kezza_2
