Heading for Tokyo

Any must see places that you can recommend while we're there?

1) Shibuya and Harajuku for shopping. If possible, go to Harajuku on a Sunday. That's when the Japanese sub-culture personalities come out. And don't afraid to take their picture, they'll politely oblige as long as you ask properly.

2) Akihabara to satisfy gear lust.

3) Kamakura, if visiting temples is your thing.

4) Minato Mirai 21

In addition to that, you might want to go to Tokyo Tower.

Shinjuku has small area near the train station that has a lot of stores selling cameras.

You might also want to go to Disneyland and Disney Sea, that's just a train ride away from Tokyo (train) station.

In addition, Disney Land and Disney Sea is also a great place to visit. There are also lots of park that you can roam around. Ueno park, Odaiba park, etc. Sayang at tapos na ang Sakura season (cherry blossom season). Sarap mamasyal sa mga park 'pag ganitong season. Umuulan ng bulaklak. Medyo mainit na ang weather ngayon dito. Start na kasi ng summer. Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy your stay here.

And yeah, if you are gadget freak, Akihabara is the place to be. I can stay whole day roaming around this area.

Watch a Japanese Professional Baseball game. Not only is it fun, it's a great experience (especially if you've been to one in the US)

If at all possible spend a night or two at a traiditional ryokan (inn/bed and breakfast) outside of town. I stayed at one in Kyoto once a few years back. Great food & a great view of the city & surrounding area.

Ahh.. Tokyo..

Would recommend to you the following..

Visit Asakusa Temple, Ueno Park, Imperial Palace Plaza, Odaiba District..

Shopping districts would be

Akihabara - Gadgets Galore!
Roppongi - Beware of South African guys asking you if you want chicks
Shinjuku - Ala Greenhills type, lots of stalls there

Recommend you to :
1.) visit Tokyo Disneyland.. A must visit attraction..
2.) ride their famous Bullet train!! I think it's average speed is 240kph!

Cheers!
