How About Japan (tokyo, Kyoto, And Other Cities

Kyoto Train Station taken last year December...

Stayed in Grand Le Daiba hotel in Odaiba a few years back for a business trip. Odaiba is much like a tech island that's connected to mainland Tokyo (think Toyota Museum). It's quite expensive there so I'd recommend browsing through offerings at Airbnb. There are a lot of awesome inexpensive places you can book from there.

 

As for places to visit, Akihabara is one of my favorites since I like bright lights, modern and urban feels. There are a lot of places you can go to there (like the SEGA buildings which is literally a gamer's paradise) and a number of french maid cafes if you're into that kind of stuff.

 

I was also lucky enough to be approached by two Japanese girls in cosplay costumes there who accompanied me one evening out. It's legit and it did not include any hanky panky. You pay them to kind of tour you around the area. It's a plus that you get to have photos together with them so you don't look lost and all alone on your trip. Haha.

 

Anyway, bring lots of cash or learn how to eat cheap. Tokyo is one of the places which have the highest cost of living. If money is no object then there's countless stuff you can go to and experience while you're there.

In Japan, cash is still king. Bring cash or arrange with your bank for international withdrawal. Sometimes it is more advantageous to get cash via atm rather than change your dollars. It is also handy as emergency in case you run out of cash.

If staying in Tokyo, I would suggest Shibuya Excel Hotel, it is located right on top of the Shibuya train station! Every morning, your breakfast is in the top floor with the best city skyline views of the city. The elevator's view every morning going down is the famous Shibuya crossing - you can get the best picture of the crossing from the hotel's upper floors.

 

Nearby in the back roads is a lot of shopping, food/snack/restaurant/dessert places, bars, etc, its basically like Hong Kong. Also have some small comic, music, and hobby shops nearby.

 

One thing to remember - overall Tokyo is a HUGE city. BRING GOOD COMFORTABLE SHOES for exploring or else you (or your feet) will regret it!

 

very well said sir, malapit pa sa statue na hachi, meron din pachinko arcades and the famous shibuya crossing kung saan nag shoot ang tokyo drift.
