that takes a few days to get to you. The JR East pass doesn't allow as much freedom of bullet train movement, but it can be bought in Japan.

Eat at Jiro's. If you see any missionaries, feed them. My nephew may be the one you feed.

Look into getting a JR rail pass. Cheap for foreigners traveling to Japan

There is so much to see and do in Tokyo that it really depends on your interests
