ATTENTION! I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION AND FAVOUR TO ASK!
Ok, sorry for that, but I really need some help. Now, I know some of you have been to Tokio before, and a few more either KNOW someone who's been there, or are interested in going there.

I have a presentation to make for Thursday, about Tokio. And the professor asked, that instead of talking ( Read more... )

Hey, I lived in Tokyo for a year, Japan in general for 3, so I think I can help you with this :D

An interesting museum I went to that most people probably don't know about is the Advertising Museum (http://www.admt.jp/en/index.html) in Shimbashi. It has a big 'history of advertising' type exhibit, but it's a history of advertising in Japan so it includes ukiyo-e prints and such, very unique to Japan's history.

I'm not sure what else counts as "too mainstream". I mean, Tokyo is a city on par with NYC, it has everything, but a lot of those things have become famous in their own right. The place to hang out was Harajuku when I lived there. I spent a lot of time in Yoyogi/Takeshita St. but that's become pretty famous. Does he know about Akihabara? That's the electronics/anime section of Tokyo, that's where all the maid cafes are. There's one where the maids are all extremely rude to the customers, it's pretty LOL.

Just let me know what else you want to know and I'll try to

OMG thank you SO MUCH, this is EXACTLY what I hoped for!

My professor, luckily, has never been to Tokio, OR Japan, so I think the popular hang out spots will be ok. He just didn't want the usual 'Temple Here, Tower there, oh! Look at the train and flashing neon lights'. Basicly stuff you would tell your friend to go and see, if they were going to Tokio.

The Maid Caffees are PERFECT :D Host restaurants and such, this will be a great addition :D I'm really green when it comes to Tokio, sadly, so ANY help is good :D

Thank you thank you so much! :D You've really helped me! :) If you Do remember anything else, please give me a hint! :) I'm off to do some reserch and finish this presentation :D
