Great writing and info. I love Japan and still have places to see. Tokyo itself has so many wards (23) that it can be hard to see a lot within a short time. I used the best way to see as much as I could and did Mario Kart where we dressed up and drove go karts around the Tokyo streets like Shibuya Crossing and such.
