Tokyo Sightseeing 2011

Some discussion from our mailing list in summer 2011.

"I think we should do a THS recommends binder and pdf. to have to give out at the space." -- Lauren

Richard's Suggestions

 * DragonQuest Cafe in Shibuya
 * Akihabara, of course, for electronics / Gundam Cafe / Linux Cafe / Super Potato
 * Harajuku for costumers
 * Nakano Broadway
 * Asakusa (sensouji)
 * Kamakura for the daibutsu

Torsten's

 * Kamogawa to demonstrate that Japan isn't just over populated concrete hell?!
 * For people who like to travel north....
 * Matsushima is very nice.
 * Zao mountain is nice too.
 * Guess in general any other city which happen to have a festival during the visit. Japanese processions are by any means worth a visit.

Lauren's

 * small more eclectic neighborhoods
 * Kichijoji
 * Nakameguro
 * Jiyugaoka.
 * Tour of a few great food spots.
 * Tsukiji of course.
 * Book district in Jimbocho.

Zachary's

 * As far as nerd friendly tourist attractions go, I found the Ghibli museum to be quite memorable (even as someone who had never heard of Ghibli before visiting Japan).
 * Also on Odaiba the Sony Explorascience (though more for younger crowds)
 * National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

Tobias's

 * 8bitcafe in Shinjuku http://8bitcafe.net/index.html
 * club mogra in Akiba http://club-mogra.jp/event/
 * Ikebukuro / Otome Road for female Otaku (but I'm sure they'll know it already ;))
 * Dear Stage in Akihabara for someone interested in Idols maybe?  http://moejapan.jp/dearstage/
