Destinations:[OOC: If you are stuck on a starter, just leave a blank comment or which of these places/ideas you want to do, and I'll start us off!]Shopping:
- Haneda Airport - The starting point, upon entering the subarchway from Attleton. The group will find themselves arriving to the subarchway like ordinary tourists.
- Ryokan Kamogawa - Where Troy booked some rooms for the entire vacation. Traditional Japanese inn with rooms too small for his liking, but they're pretty nice.
- Odaiba - an artificial island in Tokyo Bay, full of tourist attractions such as: Daikanransha (a 377-ft Ferris Wheel), Tokyo Leisure Island (24-hour video-gaming, karaoke, and bowling), Venus Fort (a Venice themed shopping mall), Tokyo Big Sight, Diver City Shopping Center with the Gundam Statue, a replica of the Statue of Liberty, and an onsen-theme park called Oedo-Onsen-Monogatari.
- Meiji Shrine
- Senso-ji Temple
- Edo-Tokyo Museum
- Tokyo SkyTree
- Mount Takao - The last destination on Troy's itinerary, and would take the entire day. Mount Takao is a popular tourist destination, long associated with Tengu. There is a ropeway ride that takes tourist halfway up the mountain. On a clear day, Mount Takao has views of the city of Tokyo itself and even Mount Fuji in the distance. There is also an onsen/bathhouse on the mountain where tourists can relax after a long day of hiking.
- Meguro River - Passing through a suburban neighborhood away from the noise of the city, and a popular destination for photographers during spring-time, due to the cherry blossom trees.
Dining:
- Shibuya - For not-so-expensive casual, cosplay-inspired fashions, and street wear. Has the famous Takeshita-dori and Shibuya Crossing, both sights are brimming with shops.
- Akihabara - Come on, you know this one.
- Ginza and Roppongi Hills - For some higher-end fashion brands.
- Gonpachi (Azabu branch) - The inspiration for one of Kill Bill's fight locations, Gonpachi is an izakaya style restaurant serving "foreign friendly" Japanese food.
- Hananomai Ryokoku Kokugikanmae - an izakaya with a sumo wrestling pit in the middle, where you can watch a match while you dine. Put on a sumo suit and horse around with the actual sumo wrestlers!
- Ichiran Ramen - A ramen restaurant where customers can order without human contact, and place your order on a vending machine.
- Wildcard! - Eating does not have to be in a restaurant, you can eat (almost) anywhere you like! Tokyo is littered with convenience stores and fast food chains that serve actually-decent food that Troy wants to binge on before going back to eating clean. He would most likely pick a spot where there's a great view of the city.
