Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan 's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people.

Tokyo Disneyland Resort  

By all accounts Disneyland Tokyo is quite a bit like the original Disneyland in California . Peruse the list of attractions on the official Disney Tokyo website and you'll find the standard fare you've come to expect from the American Disney parks. So what's the big deal? To be honest, we're not so sure. Our best guess is that the park is primarily for Japanese natives who can't get enough of all things Disney.  

Of course, if you're a Disney completist you'll have to visit Disney Tokyo. Otherwise you might want to consider the sister attraction at the Disney Resort - Disney Sea . If for no other reason because you can actually drink beer at Disney Sea .  

Tokyo Disney Sea Park  

Located at the Disney Resort next to Disneyland Resort Tokyo, the park offers water rides and amusements in themed ports, such as "Mermaid Lagoon" and " Mysterious Island ". While we'd probably choose to spend our time in Tokyo doing something more - well, Japanese - Disney Sea is at least an original concept that varies quite a bit from the Disney theme parks in other parts of the world. Plus they serve beer.

Shopping  

Akihabara ( Electric Town )  

If you've come to Tokyo looking for a deal on a new camera or the latest consumer electronic gadget, this is the place to be. Fifty square blocks of massive electronics stores. It's like taking a space trip and landing on planet transistor. Perhaps the most incredible part of the Akihabara experience is that so many of the stores appear absolutely identical in terms of variety and price. Also be aware that the latest computer and PC gadgets are definitely aimed at the Japanese market, so unless you feel comfortable typing in Kana, you're not likely to find an enticing deal on the latest hand held computer.  

Ginza

Ginza (which literally means "silver mint") is one of the largest and oldest shopping districts in Tokyo . Most of the upscale stores in this area have more in common with stores you would encounter in a modern western shopping district. There's even an Apple store here - the first ever opened outside of the United States .  

Home of the famous Ginza Lion beer hall, the district is said to feature over 400 art galleries and numerous department stores.  

If you're looking for a long day of shopping, Ginza is probably a good bet. Just remember to check your credit limit before you start your day.  

Shibuya

Shibuya is a trendy shopping district that caters to a young and upscale crowd. It's quite a bit hipper than Ginza and the large number of restaurants, bars, and theaters in this area make it the perfect destination for a fun night on the town.  

As you're crossing the street from Shibuya station take care not to be run over while ogling the multiple huge television screens that seem to dominate the area. It's been said that Shibuya is the home to more multi-story high TV screens than anywhere in the world.  

Interesting trivia: The Tower Records in Shibuya used to be the largest record store in the world (a distinction now apparently held by the Virgin Megastore in Time Square New York). While it may no longer be the largest record store, it does feature a huge selection of music as well as a very large selection of English language books and magazines
