Good, you could stroll out to Nikko, Yokohama, Kamakura etc.

i took the buses there. much more convenient except the 2nd day when I went to Fushimi Inari. used the Nara line there

taxi quite expensive IMO

depends on what you want to see in Tokyo

have not decide my itinerary yet but i am going to allocate 10days on tokyo

how about buses? are they punctual?

Anyone not doing homework or not browsing page 1 and asking silly question will get troll / fxxx from me.

tokyo is quite boring for me, maybe because i'm don't like shopping as much, 3 days is just enough for tokyo + Disney.

Bus are not like train. Time hard to predict. Might facing traffic jam.

i, on the other hand, did not have enough time in tokyo and kyoto. 2 days in kyoto and 5 days in tokyo is definitely not enough for me

lol

i went to japan myself alone for like 8 nights, and I already complain too short. Too many things to see, too little time.

8 days is still short looool...probably concentrate tokyo oni...haha...

where u went for 8 days?

osaka, kyoto and tokyo. My first trip alone, and to a land i have no knowledge on their language. but the whole experience was fun and exciting and was able to meet up 1 of the forumers from here when i was in tokyo.

Not enough then go again. Go until get bored like me
Haha....

already went in the beginning of april, with my family, kansai area for 8 nights.

my sister kena poison after i took her to japan. she said she will be back.

Tomorrow 23 Apr 2014 all Train Station locker in Tokyo will be suspended for 1 day due to Obama coming.

To me tokyo shinjuku train station 10x worst.. few times up and down, up and down.

shinjuku for me not a problem..signage is clear..shibuya one so many levels, while tokyo station is the worst coz need to walk from one end to another...some more that time pulling big luggage

ohhh..haahaha...yeap i kinda wanna experience that..(in the process of learning japanese @@)

Agreed, Shibuya-eki is like maze. Shinjuku, Ikebukuro consider easy and straight forward already.

And by the way, Tokyo is not all shopping. I personally enjoy Tokyo but yes, I have not visited Kansai since 8 years ago.

planning to go back for autumn season around early nov

in shinjuku station, some signage not clear enough. like signage for east exit going to west exit, it will bring you towards nishishinjuku station then no more signage for west exit

At the moment I'm still checking and listing out the places I want to visit in Tokyo. Haven't started studying on the trains yet. Hearing how big the stations are makes me scared. Might end up the whole day there looking for the right way out.
I expect the compile all the places I want to go by next month. After that study the train stations and then a bit of the language for my November trip.
