Title: Things to see and do in Tokyo
Post by: takashi78 on August 04, 2013, 10:34:26 PM

Going at the end of this month.
Any recommendations for non "usual" spots to visit?
By that i mean:

- No temples or theme parks, not a fan of those.
- Dont say Tsukiji cause i have planned that already.
- I have the food part covered.
- Gonna spend half day at Ginza watch boutiques with a forum friend who is gonna bring me around.

Any interesting museums to cover?
Would be interested in photography museum.

Already have a private tour planned for the Seiko Museum, gonna have a post on that when i am back.

Hmmmm....maid cafe, just to see whats up.

So guys and gals, what do you have in mind?

Check out Harajuku on a late Sunday morning to watch how the Japanese let loose their inner anime characters! Amazing photo ops because these cosplay characters love it when u ask them to pose for u!  :D
