...or so says googlism.

Personally I have 4 days to spend there courtesy of my lovely employers. How should I employ my time?

Stuff I have pegged:

-Checking out the cosplay in Harajuku
-Getting lost in Shibuya
-Eating lots of sushi

But need more! Particularly interested in freaky stuff, obviously.

Why not try finding one of those vending machines that sells used schoolgirl's knickers. Gotta be good for a sniff.

I once read an article on Japanese sweets, one of which really took my fancy, perhaps you'll be able to find it. It's basically red candy floss with bits of popping candy in it. The guy writing about it described the power of the popping candy as almost painful. He experimented by putting one of these volatile grains in a saucer of water. The grain fizzed and popped for 5 mins and stained the white saucer pink. The stain would only come off with industrial cleaner stuff. I don't know about you but I really want to stick some of that stuff right up my face.

Enjoy Tokyo please thankyou.

Hit some of the oodles of temples around Tokyo.. maybe run to Kyoto for a day. Hang out in Shinjuku station! (My spelling's off, but 3 million people pass through there every day! Fun place to visit if you like that sort of thing...)
