I've been to Tokyo twice. My Japanese friends say that I've visited Tokyo not Japan. I had a lot of fun.
I drank a lot. Izakaya bars are your friends. Shochu was my drink of choice. I visited lots of temples, museums, and frequented bars and restaurants where all the menus were in Japanese and they made fun of me and I made fun of them - but it's okay because the drinks were cheaper, the people were more interesting and the food was real and not sterilized for mass consumption.
Sometimes we'd wander down back alleys that were dimly lit and just find teeny bars with questionable looking guys smoking cigarettes in the corner. Tokyo's a fun place to explore.
and I didn't buy any manga, but I did get drunk with manga artists.
