there's like no reason to go to ginza now since shibuya got an apple store near the OIOI. the only thing that may be worth checking out is the lanvin flagship but it's not like i can afford anything there.

others:

hakuhinkan toy dept store

uniqlo

senbikiya fruit parlor

restir ginza( did it close?)

barneys ginza

dior homo

fukuya shoten (that infamous bookstore where idols / celebrities do mad book signings and akushu-kai; highly recommended for mrip)

bic camera in shinbashi

malonier gate (sp?) - hysteric glamour and other shitty frute swagz

there used to be a cool restaurant called shinbashi modern shokudo

it resembled a yoshoku restaurant from the meiji-era. ye good olde days with my rents.

Here:

7 daikanyama (it's near evisu tailor @ the yarigasaki 6 way intersection)

american rag cie (shibuya)

north, south, east, west (it's a super awesome store right above original fake) - kinda like the japanese version of odin

record in nakameguro (one of the stores that hasnt been blown up. another odin knock-off. i just found it this summer. they carry JLS, geller, common projects, german army trainers, vintage shit, and other assorted super cool jawns)

vase nakameguro - really small selection. not even worth going to.

[skubz]

Hey guys..

I'm planing on going to Tokyo for the first time in December. Any suggestions on where to live, like good but cheap hotels, maybe even renting an apartment, if possible?

I want to primarily do some shopping and maybe some sightseeing.

Any suggestions on great places to do some shopping and dining? and maybe some bars or clubs?

I am even thinking of celebrating new years there. any ideas on where?

And as someone who's never been there, what places should I check out?

Thanks

[DEPHT]

How long will you be there? I was in Tokyo for a little less than two weeks and stayed in one of those "business hotels" near Ueno for around 50 bucks a night. The rooms were small but clean; couldn't ask more for the price. Some of em are really shitty though, so check out the reviews on the travel websites. A single room at one of those "backpacker" motels are decent too, or so i've heard. I was barely in my room anyway. Make sure you check if the place has a curfew.

If you got money, check out Cerulean Towers in Shibuya. A buddy of mine booked a single for me for two days when he found out I was staying at a business hostel and it was really nice. Only real "nice" hotel i've stayed at so I don't know how it compares with the others but it was excellent in my book.

Also, check out the 7280 yen all day subway pass, it's a pretty good deal if you plan on stopping by a lot of places. It's actually a waste if you're only going to one area for the day though (which I ended up doing).

I don't know how to use the search function, can you plan my trip for me?

Thanks

This shit never ends does it?

Anyway, there are some good bars and restaurants in Ginza, but all the savage Chinese tourists buying everything in sight on the weekends is getting out of hand.

Also, someone at the H&M marketing department deserves a raise...why are people lining up to get in there?

Fuji was cold. I wouldn't recommend trying to climb in asics tigers and track pants. Knees hurt.

[DaBestSpoona]

Alright guys, its that time of the year. Recommend me a good onsen place in Hakone.

Budget is in the 30000-50000 range per night.
