What's great about Tokyo is that you can get anywhere via subway or bus; I took the subways only because the signs are in English also. It's really neat in the subways because it's a whole city down there--you can eat, shop, play video games, drink...anything and never have to go above ground!

For the sights you definitely have to go to Akihabara, the electronics capital of the world. So much electronics packed into a small area that you're going to be on sensory overload for at least a half-an-hour upon entering the city! It took my wife that long just start making sense of what she was seeing there. Then there's Shinjuku and Shibuya (the shopping), Aka-saka (the temple), Harajuku (the "hip" kids with the fashion that Gwen Stefani likes to sing about), the Emperor's Palace (can't enter but it's amazing to see from the outside). There's a lot more but if you see those places first, you'll learn about the surrounding cities also.

Have fun!
