Gonna move to Tokyo, help me with: - 12-09-2007, 11:06 PM

.. I would like to have some tips about gym's, dojo's and good shops for video-games and clothes. My aunt just bought me an apartment in Tokyo and the problem is haha: I have never been to Japan!
I love the pictures I have seen of young people, how they dress, and I'm very curious about Japan. I have been into martial arts since I was a child and kan speak a little japanese.

So people; please tell me:

1. The best dojo and gym in Tokyo.
2. Best shop for videogames.
3. Best shop for clothes.
4. Maybe the best mall in Tokyo..?

Money is not a problem. Thank you!

o_o Wow, lucky! Your aunt bought you an apartment in Tokyo? She must be rich....
Sorry I'm of no help. I just wanted to tell you how lucky you are and wish you the best. Please update us on how you like it.


Videogame junkie extraordinaire. I often need help getting snapped back into reality, so bare with me.

Tokyo Midtown is full of designer stores and nice restaurants. Then there is also Ebisu. Between Shibuya and Shinjuku are all the really cool stores. Well I guess between Harajuku and Shibuya is more accurate. There are a few big malls near Shinjuku station and an eight floor bookstore. All this other stuff you are asking, look for Housetek and his guide to Tokyo. It is in the Travel Advice section.
