Trip to Japan in 2011 and I have some questions
 

I'm going to Japan for spring break and I just have a few things I want to ask. We're going to be staying in Tokyo.

1. What are some good places to visit? I heard that the Edo-Tokyo Museum and Nikko were some places to check out.

2. How can we get around in Tokyo? Is it mostly by train?

3. Me and my cousin are huge anime and technology freaks so where can we go?

4. What is the best part of Tokyo to stay in? Like the district.

5. Where can we find like teenage stores or like a mall?

1. What are some good places to visit? I heard that the Edo-Tokyo Museum and Nikko were some places to check out.

It really depends on what you are interested in. There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of websites and blogs addressing this question. If you like looking at old and historical pieces, sure. And Nikko is not in Tokyo, but is a resort a few hours away.

2. How can we get around in Tokyo? Is it mostly by train?

Yes. Have you done any research at all?

3. Me and my cousin are huge anime and technology freaks so where can we go?

Have you heard of Akihabara?

4. What is the best part of Tokyo to stay in? Like the district.

It just depends on what you are looking for. Loud and active? Quiet and off the beaten path?

5. Where can we find like teenage stores or like a mall?

There are hundreds of them. Everywhere.

Just to make sure, you are over the age of 18 or will have an adult chaperone, right?

Yes. I've done a lot of research but I was just making sure. And as for places to stay, I wanted to be near like the heart of everything. Or somewhere that we can get wherever we want easily, you know? Also, why do you have to be 18 to go to a store?

Sorry, your questions seems very fundamental. I will be honest, there are hundreds of threads in theses forums answering these very questions. The more detailed and specific questions you can ask, the better answers you will get.

In Tokyo, there is no "heart of everything". The heart is a circle that is about 20 train stations on the Yamanote line. If you are into shopping and technology, then anywhere around that line will be good. (You can find tons of sites with maps and advice).

You don't need to be 18 to go into a store. You do need to be 18 to book and stay in a hotel room, though.

I went to Tokyo in March..and i enjoyed visiting places like Asakusa- there was this awesome big temple:D,
Shibuya..in Shibuya you can visit Shibuya 109...it is a mall for women..i think there were 8 floors of women clothes.really awesome.I got myself some great outfits ;)
