Tsukiji Fish Market.....tons of 24 hour Sushi joints around the biggest fish market in the world. Near Shiodome. Electric Avenue when they close down the streets and all the girls come out to be photographed and take in a Maid Restaurant

If you're a first timer, I think it is more important that you brush up on your Nihonggo (spoken Japanese), Katakana and Hiragana (written Japanese), etc. because navigating around Tokyo will be very difficult. Almost everyone doesn't understand let alone be conversant in English. If you're lazy, hire someone who can accompany you and ead you to the best places to go.

Nope. I have learned the secret of the universal language. Just TALK LOUDER.

hehehhe, then good luck with that, Rhetorical. I know how it can be incredibly frustrating to talk to the Japanese when you're there.
