Plan on climbing Mt. Fuji while I'm there. Anyone been there and can recommend some other fun stuff or info on accommodations/night clubs while i'm there?
I can't wait to go!!
You will be hitting the tail end of the Mt. Fuji climbing season so I would go as soon as your jet lag wears off. How long are you staying?
All the night clubs I liked got closed down *sad face*
I would go see the usual shrines and such that you will find in any tour guide book.
Are you only going to stick in Tokyo only? If not I would deff look into making a trip to some Onsens or go down to Osaka as they are totally different places and atmosphere.
I would check out the Edo Tokyo Museum...Some pretty good historical stuff and excellent models.
Go to Harajuku...big shopping street, huge beutiful park, some famous architecture has been done there....this is where the term Harajuku Girl came from...Gwen Steffani and here stupid songs..
I dunno...I just like walking around the city..just a fun place...as you are on Anandtech, I would deff recommend you take a stroll through Akihabara which is the electronic/nerd/gaming/porn/freaky japanese maid fetish place.
I am actively looking for a teaching job there :/
