Going to Japan in April, any tips/advice? TY in advance!
G'day! Just new here, anyone been to Japan lately?
I did a lot of research and got some ideas where to go- also to HAkone/Mt. Fuji, then Tokyo-the usual sites- Ueno PArk, visit Imperial Grandes, temples, zoo, etc..Ben to Disneyland in LA and if time allows might check out Tokyo DDL. Will also see Akihabara, Asakusa, Akasaka, etc..
Any more places/things to do in Japan? Will be based in TOkyo btw.
Cheers and many thank again for those who welcomed me warmly. Pls. bear with me as I am slowly getting used to this site.
theres so much to do and see within the tokyo area. you could probably fill your whole vacation with activities just by riding around the JR yamanote line and getting off at each stop.
the reason why santa claus is so jolly is because he knows where all the naughty girls live
Kamakura on the JR line is about 30-40 minutes depending on where you are staying in Tokyo. It is one of the former capitals and it makes for a wonderful walking tour that will take care of a morning or afternoon.
Outside of Kyoto, they have the BEST freshly made o sembei (rice crackers).
It's picture heaven too with lots of traditional buildings and beautiful crafts too like washi paper.
Hope you have a fabulous time!!
Thanks dear...we're staying near Tokyo Tower so we're pretty right..transport wise...will be considering your advice as a lot of people also mentioned Kyoto..cheers from a grateful new mate from Sydney, Australia!

You definitely want to buy the Japan Rail Pass. It gives you unlimited passage on JR/Shinkansen. Worth every penny if you're going to be moving a lot, and you will.
Hakone: I had fun in Hakone only because I was w/some interesting people. There are a lot museums, a lot of onsen (hot springs). You definitely want to go to an onsen. Since Hakone is in the country, a lot of things close early. You'll be bored by 8pm.
Mt. Fuji aka Fujisan: You can consider climbing it if you're crazy. Just keep in mind that you really do CLIMB. I did i, and it was the most painful & rewarding experience ever. If you're into that, do it.
Disney: I went to Tokyo Disney Sea. It was...strange, but fun.
Tokyo: Naturally you MUST go to all the Tokyo Districts - Akihabara, Asakusa, Shibuya, Harajuku. Shibuya has this place callled Ichi-Maru-Q (IOQ) - its like 10 floors of shops that only sell things for women.
Mc Donald's: I recommend this to everyone, only because I find it insane, funny, and cool all at once. Mc Donald's are open 24hrs, and in Tokyo, many of the young adults spend a lot of time there. It's like a second home: girls do their make up there, they change in the bathrooms, brush their teeth, and sleep. I slept in a Mc Donald's twice instead of paying for a hotel. I don't regret it at all.
If you get the Japan Rail Pass, you can take the Shinkansen and go to Kyoto (temple city) or Osaka.
Hope you have as much fun as I did!

I would skip Tokyo Disney Land altogether. It's basically identical to the one in Anaheim, except it's more expensive and crowded.
If you're into the young trendy stuff, be sure to check out Shibuya and walk through Yoyogi Park, into Harajuku and Omotesando. Ginza is a nice shopping district but it's really high end stuff. Right next to Ginza is the Tsukiji fish market but you'll have to get out there really early in the morning. Nightlife is great pretty much anywhere depending on your taste.
Yokohama is also a quick 30 minutes or so by express train from Shibuya. That has a nice waterfront area with a ferris wheel, the Landmark Tower, museums and a squeaky clean Chinatown.
Definitely get the Japan Rail Pass and take the Shinkansen if you're going to be traveling to Kansai.

Big thanks dear, we'll keep your tips in mind if we fall destitute, LOL!
Seriously, you gave me a lot of good tips, cheers dear!
How about Tsukiji?
Tsukiji is a fresh fish whole sale market but anyone can enter.
There are many good fresh Sushi restaurants.
I went there last spring and I enjoyed having great fresh Sushi then.
You can also buy souvenirs like Kanji T-shirts, neat dishes, cups, and others.
