Try to go on the last days of the tournament. Get a ticket at the balcony because in the first rows there are tiny cabins. The Japanese sit there on their knees for hours, but it's unlikely that you can do that too.

Omotesando - A sophisticated tree-shaded boulevard often referred to as "Tokyo's fifth avenue".
This fashion avenue has stores such as Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Christian Dior and many more.
A walk down Omotesando is like a compressed tour in contemporary architecture. All the designer label stores compete whose store is the most lavish, and up to date.

It happens every Sunday in Harajuku. Tokyo teens dress up in 'Harajuku Fashion'.
It is very amusing to see rebellious Tokyo teens dressed as Gothic Lolita, "fruits" or Anima characters.
They are just hanging out with friends, hoping their picture will be taken by one of the many magazine photographers in the crowd.

This takes place on Jingu Bridge (a pedestrian bridge that connects Harajuku to Meiji shrine).

The observation deck at Roppongi Hills is a very romantic place to be in the evening. The view of Tokyo urban light is stunning.
There is a bar at the same floor (must be the highest in the city) with transparent walls and shelves, so you can go on enjoying the astounding view of Tokyo while drinking.
While you're there, look for the excellent views of the Tokyo Tower - the Japanese version of the Eiffel Tower. It's a classic Romantic view at night.

At the Roppongi hills complex (Roppongi station on the Tokyo subway).
