Tom's experience was in Tokyo, Japan. He went on 11 of May 2007 for 1 day. He went for food. Tom went with other.

This isn't actually my experience, however, it's such a fantastic piece of video i felt compelled to post it here. B3ta.com newsletter puts it better than i would:

"Guy sticks his digital camera on the little conveyor belt in a late night Tokyo sushi bar, producing results that vaguely remind us of that excellent nightclub tracking shot in Goodfellas. Of course, it wouldn't be nearly as good if you did that in London. Someone would nick it."

Haha, my friend is out there at the moment. He absolutely loves Tokyo, and I am off to visit next year. Any survival tips from anyone?

Watch out for the Yakusa! They often hang around outside metro stations in long coats, looking dodgy.

I really enjoyed visiting the Tsukiji fish market. You have to be up early though!
We currently have three people living in Toyko - maybe they can help more!

Fantastic. I dare say that if I tried this at my local sushi place I'd get a clip round the ear.

So delightful -- I miss Japanese kaiten-zushi bars so much, I could watch this over and over again. I only wish I'd thought of it first!

Amelia, if you haven't been I'd really recommend the yakitori stalls under the tracks by Yurakucho Station if you're looking for the old Tokyo downtown from before the skyscrapers.
