Yeah, I'm the guy that was going to Tokyo for a day.

So, I had three things I was going to do:

Go see Tokyo Tower
Go to Akihabara
Go to Burger King just for the heck of it

Then a friend of mine gave me a few suggestions. Apparently there's some Nintendo place, and he recommended that I should go there, since I'm a Nintendo fanboy. He'll be going with me, so no worries about how to get to the place, but can anyone tell me more about what it is?

The next suggestion was Asakusa. He said that a lot of foreigners like to go there, and that I can look it up before going. From what I can tell, though, Asakusa just seems like any other temple. Is there anything special about it I should know?

First thought upon seeing picture - Utau x Ikuto kiss scene from Shugo Chara!

Then I saw the logo.

I prefer my version.

Sensōji (浅草寺) is the temple, Asakusa (浅草) the area it is in. Same characters, different pronunciation.

Asakusa is full of foreigners because it is a cheap place to stay. Akihabara is near by, so it might suit you.

That said, Tokyo in a day is silly. Take at least a week.

>> No.803378

Im in Asakusa right now and Im surrounded by foreigners. Skip the temple its lame and go round the Sony building in Ginza/go to the mandrake store in nakano/see the Tskuji fish market at 6am/go round shinjuku and soak in the over the top shit/find a hooker or go Roppongi where the chicks are whores.

Tokyo Tower actually kinda sucks. You'll get a better view from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) building in Shinjuku.
The only Nintendo place I know of besides the actual HQ WAS in Osaka, but it's not there any more. It was a museum. The Nintendo HQ is in Kyoto and there's nothing of note for fans or visitors or anything. It's just a boring sterile office building with the Nintendo logo on the corner. If you show you'll just be busted for trespassing or something. My friend went to Kyoto pretty much just to take a picture of the office exterior and immediately left.

Go back to /b/, /trv/ or whichever shithole you came from, please.

>> No.803395

The Tokyo Tower is rather lame and not worth going to Akasaka all the way just for it. But of course, you can go and waste your time in Roppongi after it.

For one day I would do:

Shibuya to Yoyogi Park, to Harajuku and Meiji jingu, down Omotoesando. Then get on the Ginza Line and go all the way to Asakusa, check it out, then to Ueno, look around or not, depends on how much time you got, and go to Akihabara (close). Spend how much time you think is alright, then go either to Ginza or Shibuya again to get some drinks.

Avoid Roppongi and Akasaka like the plague.

One addition. You might want to go to Shinjuku for drinks, but beware. You will most likely end up in a gay bar with some japs hitting on you. (actually happened to me)

Second adition, I forgot.

Don't go to Burger King for fucks sake.

If you want to do yourself something good, go either to Mos Burger or to Freshness Burger. You can find one of those practically everywhere.

Avoid McD, BK, KFC, Wendys and this shit. If you must, try Lotteria. And if you haven't fuck Burgers all together and go to motherfucking Yoshinoya.

According to what's reserved, I arrive at Tokyo on the Shinkansen at 10:03 AM and leave at 19:10, meaning I've only got around 9 hours. I'd love to stay longer, but I live in Osaka, and I have to go home to the States soon enough.

I've been living here for about 9 1/2 months, so yeah. I should add in that I'm just an exchange student, and 17 years old (inb4 UNDERAGE B& HURR DURR), so that kind of limits what I can do.

I'm loving the station names and whatnot, but could any of you give me something more specific? Like what to actually DO at these places? "Go there and look around" doesn't do much.

Seriously though, thanks for all the help.

The general Japan travel threads that didn't stipulate such bullshit weren't so bad, though. Not that I blame you for jumping all over this shit in summer. It does belong in /trv/ after all, and if we're not vigilant we'll meet the same fate as /b/ and /a/.

I've been to Mos Burger a couple of times. I like their rice burgers (may have the name wrong) where it's REALLY hot beef inside two buns of, well, rice, with this AWESOME sauce. It's delicious, but it takes awhile to eat, due to the heat and the odd wrapper it comes in. I usually stop by McD's if I need something to eat on my way, and besides, something familiar every now and again isn't too bad.
