Thumbs up

This April, my wife and I are going to Toyko for 10 days/9 nights. Any restaurant recommendations or other travel tips you could share?

We are set on hotels (Ritz Carlton for 7 nights and Toyko Park Hotel for 2 nights) but have no idea what the best restaurants/attractions are.

Also, are there any members in Toyko?

Thanks Calvin. My hotels are booked (Ritz Carlton is through my Marriott Rewards points for 7 nights and I snagged 2 nights at the Park Hotel Tokyo through Travelocity for $156/night and the hotel gets excellent reviews) but I will definitely try/visit the other stuff you recommended.

Thanks but I am not asking about terrorist attacks or political unrest. I am asking about restaurant recommendations/attractions/things to do, ie, the stuff that Calvin posted in response. You got any of those bro?

Well the time for our Tokyo trip has come and my wife and I are stoked. We fly there tomorrow.

For fun, we're seeing a Yomori Giants game, a James Taylor/Carole King concert and a Lady Gaga concert.

Any restaurant recommendations?

We are thinking of taking a day trip to Koyto on the bullet train but the $640 roundtrip train fare for 2 seems ridiculous for a day trip.
