Other Travel Tips mount fuji -- in april see beautiful sakura flowers Tokyo harajuku and ginza -- all branded things shinjuku -- 2nd hand electronics and 1 dollar things akihabara -- all about anime, electronics and computers shibuya -- antique things and clothes thats thebest in tokyo in tokyo you can party really good (ageha, womb, the orbient, yellow)...I personally dont like museums, so I would recommend you to take a trip to kamakura (some 2 hours from shinjuku station); and if you can, go to hakone also, they're famous for their onsens (baths)... march is not that warm yet, so watch out the clothes you'll bring. In tokyo, definitely akihabara for buying electronics or games (if you know japanese), and you can also register in advance for visiting the Imperialn Palace (you have to register one week before). Shibuya is quit a nice place, you'll see the famous Q-front of Lost in Translation; and also the freaks in Harajuku (Yoyogi Park), you will see from Sailor Moon girls to gothic ones. Oh, you can go also to Odaiba, is awesome, one of the newest places to have fun and plenty of stores and nice sea views (Fuji television and Joypolis are must-be). Feel free to ask more, I suppose you want to know more...of course, I could paste what a webpage says, but I found in my case that is better to get a more personal answer of someone who's living there, rather than a copy-paste one.
