Japanese street fashion is famous around the world, especially for the Gothic Lolita style. If you're visiting Tokyo, a day out in Harajuku to people watch in some cafes is a great way to see the many different kinds of Gothic Lolita fashions worn by the Japanese.

Make-up is also important and it still amazes me how detailed some of the designs are that people paint on themselves. One great resource is La Carmina, herself a Japanese fashion lover with an interest in Gothic Lolita and many more. She also has some great guides on where to go in the city for the less well known stuff such as theme restaurants and punk style clubs.

The Japan Times English language newspaper is a great resource if you're visiting Tokyo. You can check listings for local festivals across Tokyo and Japan, find out about special deals that might be available during your stay, and learn about local customs and culture so you don't make any social blunders.

Odaiba is a man made island that sits right next to Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay. There are great views of the city from here and you can enjoy lunch looking out over the bay from one of the many restaurants in the Tokyo Decks shopping center.

Nearby there are a number of museums (not the stuffy kind) to choose from as well as a huge game center Joypolis and Toyota Megaweb. This is an all-in-one day out in Tokyo.
