What Should I Do While There?

Question:

I'm planning a trip to Japan in early 2013 and I'll be there about a week. I want to do everything and see everything, but that's not possible in a week. Plus, I want to really see everything, not just pass by and say I saw it. What are the things I HAVE to do while there?

Answer:

The must see cities in Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto.

Attractions in Tokyo include the Asakusa district famous for Sensoji temple and Nakamise shopping street; Meiji Shrine; The Imperial Palace; Ginza and Harajuku.
