Heading to Tokyo for 6 days in October. Whats are ur suggestions in must see, what to avoid and which area to stay in.

When I was there in the spring, I booked a one day free personalized tour through http://www.tokyofreeguide.org. Was EXCELLENT and would recommend it to anyone! Make your request early to get a better chance of being "accepted." Did it the first day I was there to help get a lay of the land, learn how to use public transit etc.

If you are a car guy, Tokyo Auto Show! Oct 23, it’s Supposed to be pretty big.

Get an international drivers license, then do the go kart thing. Spend some cash and eat a wagyu steak. Robot show. Eat at ichiran. Golden Gai for drinks.

If your there for nightlife and entertainment then stay in the shinjuku district, if you like a quiet, older area with lots of temples then stay in asakusa district. I would personally pick a district to visit each day as there is so much to see!
I highly recommend
-team lab borderless museum in odaiba
-sensoji temple is asukusa
-Tokyo nation museum in ueno
- also I would try to do a day trip to Nikko! You can do a quick train ride to an old Buddhist retreat up in the mountains near Tokyo, there are amazing temples and unreal scenery, they buried a shogun there it was one of my favourite places in all of japan.

Old Tokyo- my son was victimized there. Drink beer rather than mixed drinks. Not so easy to drug you.

Cindy That usually only happens in the red light district. If a person isnt looking for debauchery they'll be perfectly safe.

Jeremy this wasn’t a red light district. There is an extortion ring there that targets ordinary people. It’s happened to a lot of people.

Cindy it happens alot in the red light district.

Jeremy I wouldn’t doubt that. This was in a non touristy area and not red light at all. Wholesome young man, not a big drinker, good family man. It can happen to anyone anywhere.

Eat Ramen!
Shibuya crossing
Imperial Palace Walk and tour
Fish Market
Kamakura town
Mt. Fuji - maybe

We are planning on going next year, we have been watching videos on YouTube, the "Only In Japan" channel has a load of information, the guys a little strange, but he's been the best one we've seen so far, very informative.

If you purchase JR PASS, some Shinkansen is free. I recommend visiting kyoto, it’s just more or less 1 hour away. Arashiyama (rickshaw, monkey forest, bamboo forest, beautiful autumn color) & Inari temple, very famous but i didnt get a chance to go there.
In Tokyo, I love Meiji Jingu Temple between Shibuya and Shinjuku. On weekend, they usually have wedding ceremony. Lots of people wearing pretty traditional clothes. There’s a road link to Takeshita Street for some shopping.

I stayed in Ueno walking distance from the train station as per a suggestion and it was perfect. One train from the airport to my hotel and a short walk after. Lots of stuff to do in the area and convenient to get to other areas. I also stayed in shinjuku but didnt like it quite as much

Btw, DONT purchase a JR pass unless you are travelling ALOT around japan. Just buy a normal metro card(the metro is under the airport and the card can be purchased at the convenience store in the station). I also bought an unlimited data sim at the airport so I could video call family as I walked around Japan

Jeremy no JR even if i want to travel to kyoto ?

Kam it's not much of a value. Its usually cheaper to just buy individual tickets. It's really easy to use ticket vending machine and there is also a jr office in the main train terminals that can sell you individual tickets. The jr is only good for some trains in tokyo but not all. It's easier to load $30 onto a transit card and tap it for any train or bus you want.

Kam a one way unreserved Shinkansen ticket to Kyoto is around $150 Canadian. A jr pass is around $450 I believe

Find an airbnb that comes with pocket WiFi, and is about 5-10 mins walk from a train station. Disneyland is overpriced and not very good. Everywhere else is cool

Jack Disneyland is always worth it, jack!

Take the Yamamote line (JR train green colour). It makes a loop around Tokyo. Jump off at stations and see what each "borough" has to offer. Akihabara for electronics, Kanda for books, Ueno for museums and a boat ride in the pond, Shibuya for nightlife and Meiji shrine, Shinjuku for more nightlife, Ikebukero for the Pokémon Store, Harajuku for people watching and the flea market.... lots more too!
