I would get a JR East train pass. And go to Kamakura, Nikko, and Gala Yuzawa (if you ski) or MT fuji if you don't.. I would also do a bike tour of Tokyo on one of your first days to get your bearings.
Chelsea
with the price increase of JR passes it’s not worth it. Kamakura day trip from Tokyo round trip is $20 CAD ish. Nikko similar just a heads up!!
Nishi
Coco ichibanya - a franchise that has a great vegetarian Japanese curry and rice. Can be found almost anywhere and very tasty.

Japan Foods'n Booze is an amazing and unique experience with vegetarian/vegan options.
Check it out. Manami is a great host.

What would be ideal to do and see in Tokyo as I will be landing at 6 am at the Haneda airport?
Chelsea
Anonymou train to Tokyo is about an hour and a bit from Haneda. Stop in Yokohama if you don’t have much luggage or store if at the station and check out Chinatown and the red brick wearhouse area/garden

1 week is quite short. I personally love Osaka and Nara, but you probably won't have time for that. I was recently researching Kawagoe, specifically a part of it called "Little Edo" (Coedo) that looks really neat and is a short trip from Tokyo. It's an area full of 19th century shops and has a really neat looking atmosphere.
Anonymou
Aaron would like to ask if JR pass will cover Tokyo, Osaka, Edo, Nara, and all those famous places ? And how much is it for and if it is worth it?
Aaron
Sorry, but I can't say. I haven't done Tokyo yet, just passed through. Only been to Osaka/Kyoto/Nara so far...never bought rail passes.

We spent a week in Japan and only managed to do Tokyo and Kyoto. Tokyo is a huge city with lots to do. I wanted to go to Hiroshima but couldn't fit it in the schedule.

Hi, I will be traveling to Japan with my mother ( Haneda) and would love to know what to see, do, and explore during my 1-week stay from Mar 11.
It has always been part of my bucket list to visit Japan and could fit into my multi-trip this time.
Any recommendation on vegan/ vegetarian options would be great along with any airbnb references.
Thank you so much!
