I arrive in Tokyo at 11:05 on Saturday the 28th and leave on 7:55pm Wednesday the 3rd! :w00t:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Tokyo is fun, interesting and filled with great eateries and nice people. It's way too big, though. :P

If I can deal with Seoul, I can deal with Tokyo.

having been there I can with complete confidence assert that Toukyo is not too big, it is one of those places on the planet that would most assuredly benefit from being bigger; space is somewhat at a premium there.

I should've added, for my taste. No, as it is it can definitely not be any smaller.

Tokyo is nice, though not too much special on the tourist side of things.

I'm sure I can find a shitload of touristy things to do.

There are certainly things to do. But not much that is really "WOW! AMAZING!", I've mostly done Tokyo (in a tourist sense, it still holds a lot in a weekend fun sense) except for the Sky Tree and Tokyo tower. Kansai is the better tourist area IMO.

Tokyo Tower is okay, I guess.  It's just a tower.  Hard to fuck that up unless it falls down or something.

The view apparently sucks these days too with all the tall buildings around it. Foreign tourists still like to go there though for its frequent appearances in Japanese anime and movies and the like. I fancy a look sometime, not top of my list though due to it just being a tower.
For good views the best place bar the sky tree (I wonder if tickets are available yet...) is the Tokyo government building in Shinjuku.
