My tour package wil be going to asakusa, ginza & shinjuku this October. Any recommendation on food or interesting places over there?

Also planning to try the following food (unique food fr Japan) :- Any advice on the cost or place to have them?

1)Kobe Beef / Matsuzaka Beef  / Yamagata's  / Hida beef / Yonezawa beef/ Ikeda beef. ANy idea how much is a good portion steak of the above should cost?

2)Kumamoto Horse meat. (hehehe.. still not sure dare try or not)

3)Kegani - Hairy Crab (is this the same as Shanghai's hairy crab -"Da CHa Xie")

4)Akkeshi's oysters,

5)Saroma's scallops,

6)sea urchin (uni)

7)ika-meshi, rice-stuffed squid

8)matsutake mushroom

9) Karasumi

At least if know the cost now, then when the tour guide take us, they won't haf opportunity to overcharge us.
Any depachika  or department store basement food court, featuring tiny specialist stalls dishing up local specialties  with  hangaku or 3-wari  to get a bargain within ginza & shinjuku?

AGREED , in Japan...daging lembu mahal duhhhh!

so where's exactly Michelin?

Sorry dude, I'm a Muslim so really didnt know bout the non halal beef, but then Kichijoji not far from my place hehehe..
Think you should finish travel 1st in central of Tokyo such as Shibuya, Ginza, Rponngi bla bla..times limited

IF you are smoker then please dont smoke at anywhere you like, watch the sign where you can smoke. In Tokyo even while u r walking you CANT smoke!

Bout the rubbish, keep any of your own rubbish with you and throw it /dump it in your home or convenience store!

'Jepun adalah salah satu negara yang susah untuk kita menjumpai tong/bakul sampah'

Know what I like about Japanese babes?
= They love to show their thighs

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, rainy, sunny, from high school girls to working class women, its a lovable EVERYDAY SIGHT
And I love every moment of it

too bad i'm going with my gf...so have to cover up with sunglasses   

wanna check something..
1) is the power supply in Japan same as those in Malaysia other than the 2 pin problem? Do i need to bring ac convertor thing? 
2) is it cheaper to convert yen in Malaysia or should i bring MYR to convert in Japan? My understanding is its cheaper to convert in Malaysia.
3) Btw is it hard to find a money exchanger that accepts RM in Japan or should i bring currencies such as USD/SGD?

i think you can wear undergarment if cold just 2 layers its enough i think!
but me already wear thermal cloth oledi hehehe..

Means the Shinkansen would be brim-packed ?? 

Do you think it's a good idea to visit during Golden Week ? I thought it's better to tour during the festivals period, but if the prices are at premium and the overloading crowd... hmmm

Do the sakuras blossom in Spring ?
