I took a tour with a friend so that she could see another part of Japan. We visited a temple where we were able to see traditional Japan, had a traditional Udon and grilled fish lunch, and then enjoy...
Nice place to go when the weather outside is bad. The restaurants upstairs in the Galleria were too expensive and the restaurants in the basement were too crowded, but I managed to find a nice quiet n...
A complex maze of shops and restaurants that can leave visitors feeling flustered. I frequent this complex in order to visit May's Garden Salon and Estination/Bals. I have become familiar with how t...
Sure, it's not Roppongi's amazing view, but it's without a doubt the best one you're going to find in the skyscraper district. Bonus points for a great view of Mount Fuji on a clear day.
Crammed one on top of the other, the little local places serving everyone's favorite grilled meat on a stick will make you feel like you've stepped out of modern Tokyo and into some mythical parallel ...
TRY THE OCTOPUS BALLS!! I tried one by accident cause I was starving and about to pass away. The guys said something I couldn't understand when I asked him what it was, I shrugged my shoulders, paid h...
An architecturally curious building, it is the site of some serious government head-scratching. Hey, at least they don't have all-out fist fights here like they do in some countries. I would suggest...
I went here on a day trip from Asakusa. We took one of the fairies to go and see the bridges and this was our last stop.
It's a nice place to end the day visiting the shrines in old Tokyo and visit ...
If you're expecting to see a re-enactment of the NYSE in the Pacific, keep looking. Here, despite market volatility, people are still polite to one another. The increasing use of technology in tradi...
While I'm all about checking out churches and religious sites in other countries, this one was kinda over my head. I mean, I can appreciate the beauty and architectural ingenuity from the outside. B...
Had a great time "bar hopping" here one night with some friends. We had a great time going from place to place and experiencing such a variety of styles.
The statue isn't all that spectacular, but the thought and heart behind the statue is what is important. The fact that it's situated right in the middle of the busiest part of Shibuya is even more am...
While the school's own description holds true and just last year they held a 25th anniversary special, the Mita Campus also holds a very awesome, very cheap student cafeteria. There are two food place...
This is such a cool sight! You can go inside this boat and see for yourself what it was like to travel by sea long ago. If you are in the area you should definitely check it out. Kids can really ha...

My family was at the Sankeien during the last cherry blossom period. We were a week early but we could already witness the beginning of the sakura blossoming. It was a sight to behold. Many folks were...
Like some other places close to Tokyo, this is a site that books up fast. But if you manage to get a last minute trip through a travel agency like JTB you can score some really rockin' deals. The on...
High luxury goods and esthetically pleasing to the eye but....it seems to lack energy..at least the times that we have been there. With the exception of visiting one of the many restaurants on the to...
