The first half of the list are places we went to on our two-week trip in the country, the latter half comprises places we were recommended or planned to visit but weren't able to.
DHR.com: Waking up early is worth it for this wholesale fish market. Have a sushi breakfast, or if you’re not buying anything, just watch the activities unfold. Take the Hibiya Line, then Exit 1 in Tsukiji.
DHR.com: Find peace and serenity at this Shinto Shrine in Shibuya. Make sure to visit both major areas (Naien and Gaien). You can also write a prayer on a piece of paper and then tie it to the wall of prayer.
Jon Steinback: On a Sunday, swing through and see the Dancing Elvises (Elvi?) and wander down towards the Harajuku entrance from some Harajuku girls. Good Okonomiyaki from street vendors, too!
Minguz: Great rooms and extremely comfortable beds. the hotel is clean and fancy. service is perfect (best dry cleaning ever tried). Several expensive restaurants. The shuttle bus from/to airports available
M. R.: Worth a visit for the architecture alone. Some staff speak English at this upper end Tsutaya and there are some English books and magazines. It can get a bit noisy and busy at night time.
Charles Chen: For high-quality Yamagata Wagyu yakiniku, this is the place. You can hardly go wrong by even picking blindly off the menu. Slices are brought out and then cooked for you at the table. Can get pricey.
J★ZZ: Awesome futuristic capsule hotel. There's a discomfort you feel thinking you're a (free) prisoner in a futuristic prison, which is a strangely exciting experience!
Michael Meelis: If you are doubting to stay don't it's worth it! Come in and enjoy the staff and really great food! You will never want to leave! Very well English speaking staff present as well!
Alper Çuğun: The guy making pulling the incredibly tight espresso shots here is a true artist. The place is small but very convivial and it's easy to lose yourself there for an hour or so.
Lufthansa: This Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower is 333 meters high. It was originally intended for television broadcasting. Today it is one of Tokyo’s most famous landmarks.
