Hey i think im going to be traveling to Tokyo in the spring.
Anyone give me ideas on what to do while im there?

Leave.
J/K.

Petition for ethnic rights and rights to be respected just as much as anyone deserves. Japan needs to change there education system to stop the history denial. Not enough protests in Japan.

People should really follow Martin Luther King's examples or people like him. People are too quiet and this lets the ultranationalists get their way. Protest for human rights.

There's too many to recommend.

Yes, ALOT of things NEED fixing. How are you suppose to do anything if you are not allowed anywhere?? Its not anyones fault for not being born Japanese. Those No-Gaijin signs are getting on my nerves.

LOL wtf. Where is those No-Gaijin signs in anyway?

Onsens, hotels, bars, convience stores, you can even google it and you will find many victims of such discrimination. Infact some don't post signs and bluntly tell gaijin to get out. Such open hearted racism.

I was wandering around Kabuki-cho late at night trying to find the Benten office (but they had recently moved to Ebisu without telling me) and bunch of guys came out of an alley and asked if I was lost. I had a map in my hand and I tried to explain to them that I was not lost, just the record company I was looking for had gone lost, vanished, disappeared.
I don't think they understood me, or maybe they were drunk/happy and having a bit of fun, because they insisted that if I come back in daylight, the place I am looking for will also come back.
Then they insisted on buying me a drink and took me to a little late-night noodle bar that had a tiki theme, you know with the ship's wheel and bell and native islander masks on the walls, which seemed to be right up my alley, but then they began to smoke.
Now those guys smoked worse than the industrial chimneys I work with, and pretty soon I was coughing and feeling like I was sea-sick. Japanese culture is a bit behind the social and health trends of say the USA and Australia. So when you go over there in the near future, you will no doubt find that many restaurants and bars are foggy with cigarette smoke.

^lol I agree the Japanese loves smoking.

I was wandering around Kabuki-cho one day and just as it gets towards the evening the place suddenly becomes a bit dodgy with all these Yakuza looking guys

LOL! Um Japan wouldn't be the only country to need to do that. Almost all countries have something they need to reform and some more than others. Japan does have a lot it needs to change, but there are some I can name that are in much more dire need. One of which is a five letter word that begins with a C and end with an A.

Martin Luther King's example? Why should you seek to influence people who hate Western Culture with Western Culture?

Did you know that United States has its own history in denial. Mainly speaking the lie of which Ronald Reagan had ended the Cold War. Japan is just following America's example. Just as China and Turkey are doing right now and as Germany had done with its persecution of Jews.

History denial is currently being addressed in Australia by our new leader Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
Many Australians are angry at our leader's overtures to the marginalised Aborigines, because they claim our generation is not responsible for their problems. Also some legal sources have warned that this "apology" for past wrongs, and recognition of state-authorised crimes against the black indigenous inhabitants, may spark a rush of opportunistic lawsuits and claims for compensation.

really? wow. Can you tell me what will you do? will you fire a suit against them in the court? or what?

lol and the judges in turn will tell you to get out of the courtroom


Kidding

Eat coco's curry . Then Pepper Lunch, then try out a yakiniku, then a yakitori spot, then play some pachineseo, then sleep at an internet cafe . I was also wandering around kabuki-cho the other day, it does turn into a yakuza hot spot at night time lol, good thing I look somewhat Japanese haha...

buy electronics, drink sake, eat sushi, ?

Go see some rock'n'roll bands at Quattro.

-hentai vids..
-hit up with them girls there. take some pics when you get back.
-sight seeing.. . at night would be best!! in the morning go hiking and check out below.

Is it true most book stores in Japan have a manga section?

lol @ No Gaijin. I can respect that if they want to keep their place pure, its their country anyways. I mean if foreigners dont like it they dont have to go there.

Is Kyoto like the americanized Japan?

buy video games

take tons of purikuras!!! eat all the authentic japanese food!! buy all anime stuff(like action figures..)!!! buy japanese beauty products(coz they are good)!!! buy a kimono!!! by the time that you've done all that, you have no more money left to go back home..

LOL, funny thing is you're right about the make up stuff :P. One of my friends use it and wow lol. I don't use it myself though

^not only the make-up, but like other facial products.. like moisturizers, face wash,etc... they're really really good...

In Tokyo, Asakusa (temples) then Akihabara (electronics)... That's what I did.

What a coincidence huh

if ur a teenager, visit harajaku
and check out the stores, they open around 10 i think.
harajuku street is the best. or go to ropongi also for shopping for clothes.
ummm, check out the onsens, (bath houses) theyre really relaxing lawl.

How about Soap Land and Rokbonki and Kabukicho`s Okama house(=gay bar) and Massage Salond and Donquihote Mart?
Sleep in the Capsul Hotel and 24 hours Sauna and Internet & Manga Kisaten Cafe!
Drink in Uotami and Sirokiya and 笑笑。　５時まで飲みながら朝一番の電車を待つ。
Tokyo round Bus tour!
Disney Land and Sea in Chiba!
Yokohama`s China Town!
渋谷と原宿で女子高生を難破するとか！（笑）


外国人はいつも東京の　Always Tokyo Tower and Akihabara`s electronics and Asakusa (temples) are too boring and not interesting!

つまらない！

fu-k Japanese women! Enjoy all the trappings of an emasculated society that is becoming increasing irrelevant in global affairs.

lol, I know, I have some myself :

I reckon the Harajuku fashion scene is great for anyone who is into clothes.
