Don t get too hung up on ticking tourist sights off your list: for most visitors, the biggest part of the Tokyo experience is just wandering around at random and absorbing the vibe, poking your head into shops selling weird and wonderful things, sampling great rate hotel deals restaurants where you can t recognize a single thing on the menu (or on your plate), great rate hotel deals and finding unexpected oases of calm in the tranquil grounds of a neighbourhood Shinto shrine.
