Going 2 Tokyo from July1st for 10 nights, what's on around this time? And what is a must see?

Question:


Hi I am arriveing in Tokyo on the 1st of July stayin for 10 nights and am really lookin forward 2 it and don't want 2 miss anything good, so if anyone knows anything that is going on around this time, or anything I wouldn't want 2 miss out on please get in touch with me. Any advice or help is much apreciated

Answer:


Take a good digital camera and if you can a camcorder with you. There is so much to see, but a few places to see are
Harajuku/Meiji Shrine on a Sunday to see the bizarre fashions
Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa - one of the famous temples every tourist goes to see
Odaiba at night for a real trip - try the ferris wheel and don't miss the Statue of Liberty and Venus Fort
See Love Hotel Hill in Dogenzaka at night for something uniquely Japanese
Tsukiji Fish Market at the crack of dawn.
Akihabara for the electronics.
Shinjuku and Shibuya at night for the endless lights and neon.
Ginza for the overpriced shopping.
Yasukuni for a real experience of NIhonjinron.
Tokyo Metropolitan Gov't Building in Shinjuku (better view from the top than the Tokyo Tower, and
all free!)
Roppongi for the ex-pat environment

Better still, get out of Tokyo when you can and take some day trips to Kamakura, Nikko, Hakone, and the Fuji 5 Lakes.
And to save money you can get a Tokyo subway day pass for all lines for about 1000 yen.
