2.
Amusement Facilities / Theme Parks, Tokyo
 7 Reviews  These shops at the entrance sell all the Disneyland merchandises. You may just keep swiping you plastics (credit cards) because all your friends expect you to bring back some souvenirs. Most of the...

Ginza, Tokyo
 5 Reviews  Ginza, the famous shopping and entertainment district in Japan, full of department stores, expensive boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and theatres. Here you will find the department stores...

5.
Shinjuku Station, Tokyo

Akihabara, Tokyo

8.
Asakusa, Tokyo

11.
 2 Reviews  All you can drink for $50 plus strippers. Yeah right. Strippers (2 of them) looked to be 14. Not right at all. Drinks? Tasted funny. We were approached by the man from Ghana, who took us downstairs....

The Edo-Tokyo Museum: Save until the End, Tokyo
