Visiting Japan

[shinta|hikari]

Tokyo?

Go eat good Japanese food, like sushi. For relatively cheap but good sushi, there is a sushi place on top of the 109 building in Shibuya. Try their blow torched salmon nigiri zushi (forgot the actual name EDIT: researched a bit, and it may be SushiTsune). Beware of ko gals though. Not sure if the place is still there though. You like ramen, so you should try a good place where people line up. That is always a good sign when it comes to stores in Japan.

Go to a maid cafe in Akihabara, and stroll around the area. You buy anime figures, so you should enjoy that place a lot. There might be cosplay events if your lucky.

For Joshikousei in mini skirts, Ikebukuro's shopping malls are a good place.

Harajuku is a date place, so that might not work. Has a lot of good clothing stores though. The place is quite interesting, with some cosplayers just walking or hanging around.

Shinjuku has a lot of shopping malls and restaurants. I never really liked it much though.

I'd go visit the Kyoto/Osaka/Nara area if I had a week. 2-3 days there would be worth it since you can check out the temples and whatnot.

BTW, take rides in the ferris wheels. They will show you a great view if the weather is good.
