How long are you going to be in Tokyo for? I personally think that Yokohama is worth visiting too if you have a full day to spare

In many ways I prefer Yokohama to Tokyo...Chinatown is a lot of fun and the tall building with the panoramic view at the top is must-see.

Agree, there are more things to see in Yokohama, and if you are into shopping, Yokohama is more centralized.

I suppose Tokyo is good for one or 2 destination, but otherwise things are a bit too scattered..

Ueno park is a must do. You can fit in Akiba as it is just down the road.
You also have Ameco market which is always buzzing and just a short stroll from the park.

You could get a train to Akiba have a look around then walk North keeping on the right side of the road. Take a right turn anywhere and then a left after one to five streets, your choice. You will hit Ameco market which you can spend many hours in and out of the many shops.
head north again and you will hit Ueno station. Head to the left of the station and you will find the park.

Ah thanks! Will hit Akiba on the 20th. (: Heard that local cosplayers hang there during the weekend.. Hope to catch a glimpse of them. Haha

Anyone familiar with Kabukicho? Wanted to visit a host club there too. but i heard that it's hard to get into one without a J-speaking friend to bring u into it.
