I'm going to Tokyo in November

I’m trying to find things to do and places to go. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve never been to Japan before.

Worth visiting!

The first time I went to this place

I spent the last four months of 2008 in Tokyo, Japan as a study abroad student and I had an absolute blast! Tokyo is mind blowing in every way; the contrast between traditional culture and globalization here is really quite fascinating. There are a lot of things that can be jarring (Roppongi reminds me of Times Square, to some respect, but on copious amounts of acid) and down right weird (used panty machines, host clubs, etc) but there are so many beautiful details I loved like ginkgo trees golding during the Fall or going to a para-para club and being the only foreigner in a club.

Tokyo is just awesome!
