I'll be going to japan for two weeks this summer (7/7-7/21), with some of my fellow japanese language students and japanese sensei. we'll be spending most of our time in nara, Akita, and toyko. however, in tokyo in particular we'll be having about 3-4 days where we'll mostly have time to go out on our own. somy question to you is this;
"what should I do/where should i go while im there?"
obviously, this is tokyo so i couls spend the whole year there and not have done everything i'd want, which is why im asking you where you've had teh best experience or had friends/reletives who have.
we'll only have out rail passes to ourselves for one day however (7/18), so while we could make it to osaka, that would be something like a 6 hour round trip, and not leave a lot of time there (so possibility, but not really at the top of the list). we how however just a short ways off from yokohama (san diego's sister city), so i was thinking of going there.
anyway, your suggestions will be most helpful
