Is the experience of a traditional Japanese hotel worthwhile and are they available in or near tokyo.?
Answer Hi Dori, I don’t know where you will go before your extra days, but there is quite a lot to see in Tokyo. But there is also a lot that is nearby and you really should not miss if you want to see more than the concrete jungle. As for Tokyo, go see Sensoji (in Asakusa), one of the best temples in Tokyo with its great Pagoda, also Akihabara for electronics, Meiji Jingu, and if you’re there on a Sunday, go to Harajuku (next to Meiji Jingu) to see the weird youth and Ginza for upscale shopping. At night, go to Love Hotel Hill in Dogenzaka (near Shibuya Stn, go through JR Yamanote Exit 8), Odaiba to see its big Ferris Wheel and Statue of Liberty, and if you want, see Kabukicho near Shinjuku Stn for its seedy night life. If you can get up really early, go see the Tsukiji Fish Market and eat the freshest sushi in the world there. And skip the Imperial Palace – it ain’t worth it at all. If you have time and the opportunity, by all means go over to Kamakura and see the Great Buddha, Haseg
