What part of Tokyo that is...
We are in the very early planning stages of a trip we''d like to take in February. I still have yet to pick up a guide book of some sort, but I was wondering if someone here could give us a starting point to look at areas.
Our preferences:
Somewhere close to transportation and/or close to points of interest. It will be cold in February so we don''t want to to be walking extremely long distances.
We are not into clubs or that type of nightlife, however we aren''t bothered by areas of cities that "never sleep." We like feeling part of a large metropolis and DH loves modern architecture and skyscrapers.
We''d like to be near lots of food options. We both love sushi and ramen and are hoping to try "real" japanese food. DH will eat anything regardless of whether he knows what''s in it, and will have no problems ordering whatever. My palette is not quite as broad or "mature." I have a hard time eating things when I don''t know what is in it. I also have a shellfish intolerence so will need to be more careful about what I eat. So somewhere near lots of food options would be great. Maybe a familiar American chain in case I need a back-up?
We do not speak Japanese, so a location that is easier for English speakers to navigate would be great.
We haven''t really picked out our list of preferred activities but we are hoping to find an area where we will have access to lots of options. We do know that we''d like to take at least 1 day trip out of the city to see Mt. Fuji, probably.
TIA for any help.
