Random is fine!

I've been to Tokyo on business, and through Tokyo on pleasure. I don't really know it and any suggestions I'd have would probably be *really* Japanese and not actually interesting--off the top of my head, most foreigners would want to see shinjuku/ginza/akibahara, asakusa, and kabukicho (during the day!). Day trips from Tokyo that I would recommend are to Nikko (Toyotoma Hideyoshi shrine), Yokohama (China town and Jazz), and Kamakura (Buddhism and the seat of one of Japan's earlier military governments)--If you're here for a week, you could probably take two of those to punctuate the onslaught of Japan!TOKYO. So much depends on details of your travel such as how long you will be here (about a week, right?), but also what you're more interested in--Tokyo's past or it's present... I highly recommend Lonely Planet travel guides for their range and completeness. Sorry I'm not so helpful, but if there're any other questions I can answer, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to answer.
