Pros: Fascinating culture and every imaginable electronic gadget.
Cons: Japan's an expensive place to visit in general.
Shinjuku is arguably the heart of modern day Tokyo. Heart in the sense that Shinjuku is where the life of the city is, sure there are other hot spots to go to, but there's a reason that the city government moved it's headquarters to Shinjuku several...

Pros: Exciting and safe
Cons: Language difficulties, summer weather
I've lived in Tokyo and traveled there many times on vacation, as well. I love cities, and I find Tokyo to be incredibly exciting and accessible. One of the greatest qualities of Tokyo is its safety -- it's wonderfully liberating to be able to go...

Pros: Clean, convenient, affordable, friendly
Cons: Not the Taj Mahal
Based on the reviews in this site and others, options for hotels in Tokyo seem limited to $500 a night palaces. Actually, options exist - youth hostels, love hotels, capsule hotels - but the one I suggest is Kimi Ryokan.
Ryokan is a word that...

Pros: Amazing video game attractions, Free Dreamcast play, FUN FUN FUN!
Cons: Entrance fee, expensive games.
Play away in the most sophisticated and largest arcade in Tokyo. Shinjuku Joyopolis Sega. It's really easy to drop bucks here having a blast, but I doubt that you'll see attractions like these elsewhere (or at least it won't be for a few years). There's...

Pros: karaoke, clubbing, skiing indoors
Cons: expensive
I studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan during the fall for four months. I had a phenomenal time. I loved to soak in the onsens, natural hot baths, as a mode of relaxation. I loved doing karaoke "the real way," in secluded "boxes" where...

Pros: Unique Experience, Generally Safe, Great Museums/Parks/Attractions
Cons: Expensive
Tokyo is an absolutely unique experience. It is a massive city/suburb area both in terms of land and the number of people. After coming into Narita International, you will most likely go on one of the trains bound for Tokyo’s Central Station which is a...

Pros: Plentiful, colorful and exotic
Cons: Often expensive
One of the most common questions that I am asked is, "Do you like sushi?" Over the years, I've tried to answer that question and inform the inquirer at the same time.
First of all sushi:
Is the original Japanese "fast...

Pros: Centralized partying area, language not a problem, you get what you pay for.
Cons: Like I said...You get what you PAY for! (expensive)
As I stated in the last installment of Unkonate Rates..., Tokyo nightlife closes EARLY - most conventional bars close down around 11:30pm, but the city is full of establishments which go on even until 4 or 5 am. These places generally get by doing this...

Pros: The largest fishmarket in the world... a great adventure.
Cons: Watch out for the carts!
Since you will arrive in Japan with a serious case of jet-lag, you might as well make the most of it on your arrival in Tokyo. When you find yourself awake at 3 in the morning and no amount of counting sheep will get you back to sleep... go to...

Cons: Higher probability of unwelcome stares

Pros: Good chance to use your language skills
Cons: Subways are a maze of confusion
So you've landed at Narita International Airport and are now faced with the gloomy prospect of somehow getting into Tokyo, a mere 25 miles from Narita...you could take a taxi and shell out around $200 for the ride, or find a seat on a shuttle bus (still...

Pros: Doing something you never thought possible
Cons: Those pesky squirrels
Akiko-san? Where are you? I've had enough of this.
Coming Rex-sensei.... what's wrong?
I've got 4 students waiting in there, and guess how many squirrels I have?
Excuse me?
I'll tell you. 4. 4 squirrels, 5 students. How am I...

Pros: You can get much better than free in the world's most expensive city
Cons: Accomadation and transport are still expensive
Tokyo for Free Tokyo is often ranked as the most expensive city in the world, which is probably not what travellers planning a visit want to hear. The good news that there are plenty of places around which are free to visit, cheap to eat at and some ...
