One day in Tokyo

How do I start??? Well, after the initial shock of NOT understanding anyone around me, I took a bus to my hotel, walked around the central district called Shinjyuku and had an excellent dinner at the Hyatt Hotel. I will follow with a detailed explanation on what I did and what I recommend.

Quick Tips:

After going through customs, there are counters that offer rides to the center of Tokyo at a cheap price. Also, try to stay at the ring or around Shinjyuku-ku district, very centrally located.

Best Way To Get Around:

Well, I did use the subway once, but it is very confusing. I will try to walk or use taxis that are not extremely expensive.

Great rooms, American style with all amenities you can expect being stateside. Cable TV, the works. The hotel has everything you will need while the restaurants are excellent and cater to all your tastes.

This is a store that only sells pearls. They have a tour that shows you all the manufacturing process up to the final product ready to sell. It is interactive and fun.

The tour gives you a complete view of mayor attractions and landmarks in Tokyo. You visit the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, a Buddhist temple, and a walking tour of the shopping distict. A safe bet if you have little time in Tokyo.
