I'll second the recommendation for visiting Nikko. Short trip out of Tokyo, and WELL worth the travel.

Also if you are looking to travel cheaply, but fast....... and you are staying in the Tokyo and "north" (east technically) area.... look into the JR EAST Railpass. A standard 4 day flexible use one (unlimited travel any 4 days in a 30 day period) is only 20,000 円 and it is easy to eat that up with much shinkansen travel at all. Otherwise... use slow trains to save money.

best,

.................john
