I took the Dynamic Tokyo full-day bus tour with Hato on my visit to Tokyo. I was only there for a few days and found this was a great introduction to such a big and confusing city for a first-time visitor. They offer hotel pick-up and drop-off, and although I wasn't staying at a hotel, I was able to…

Now, if you know it very well you're probably wondering how I could afford to set my foot on this expensive shopping and entertainment area of Tokyo or even just mention the name.

Tokyo Disneyland is a great theme park. It is laid out very similar to the park in California with much of the same rides. It caters pretty well to English speaking people, but all of the commentary on the rides is in Japanese. I went in late August and it wasn't too crowded. It has fast passes like…

Be sure to check out Shimokitazawa. This is a district of Tokyo popular with college-age students and twenty somethings. The area has a very Berkeley-esque funk to it, and it's got tons of stores to bum around in. Basically, it's a lot of little shops surrounding the JR station. While you will s…

This art museum can be a little expensive but I think it is well worth it. The Mori is a rather small museum but the presentation of the pieces (ranging from post-impressionism to contp) is outstanding ( and this is coming from an art snob). The views of Tokyo can't be beat! ( I think this is the…

The Ghibli Museum is a wonderland not only designed for children but also the young at heart. The entire theme of the building (which is designed like a house) is getting lost in animation. Each room has an interesting theme all based on designing animated films. Yeah the Museum very interesting for…
