Isn't Japan the homeland of happy endings? Let me clarify, having a relaxing time when you come.

In Japan, unless you're in a place like Roppongi or Ginza (where they see Foreign Businessman), you won't be able to get 'happy endings' as there's a strict "No Gaijin" policy.

How do I know? I did my Graduation thesis on the Japanese Sex industry and my ex was a Hostess as an upscale Kyabakura in Shinjuku, and one of my good friend's wife is still a Hostess at an upscale Kyabakura in Shinjuku. I've had my fair of exposure to say the least.

It's expensive in Japan for paid services; you're better of going to a club in Roppongi and finding a willing girl there. All you'd need to do is buy some drinks and get a room at a Love Hotel.


If you want to be a normal tourist, you can see Tokyo Tower, visit some nice shrines.

If you like anime/video games, go to Akihabara.

If you want to do some shopping, go to Shibuya or Shinjuku.
If you want to spend a lot of money shopping, go to Ginza (it's Tokyo's "Beverly Hills")

If you want to see some sick cars/car clubs/meets you'll need to venture out of the main city in Tokyo as they don't really have room to drive there... but you will see some sicks cars nonetheless.

If you go out to the mountain passes, that's where you'll see some excitement.
Go rent a S2k or S14 (actually, I don't know if you could since you're a tourist..)

If you want the best sushi in the world, go to Tsukiji fish market bright and early

Cool thanks, I figured someone would eventually give me a legit answer...

My colleagues are locals so they promised me some "fun" so Im not too worried about the gaijin thing, since Im rolling with them and Im korean so I look like them, but either way I wanted to do some other things such as possibly hitting some clubs up and some dumb touristy things too.. yeah also that fish market is very close to my hotel so Im definitely gonna hit that up, someone told me about it..

Go to Shibuya and wander around. Start around Hachikō Square, wander, and end around Electric city.

Go on a sushi binge. Fantastic, and no more expensive than in the US...probably cheaper, and VERY cheap by Tokyo standards.

Go to any random diner or noodle shop and be amazed at how good noodles can actually be.

Yes sir! Will for sure check out Shibuya, Im definitely looking forward to it, I love the stuff here in SoCal already but all my Japanese co-workers are telling me its even better over there!

Only thing Im dissapointed about is that I actually have to do work!
