I'm Going to Japan!!

For three weeks (September 19 - October 10) I am going to be in Japan. I will spending the first week in Tokyo and the final 2 weeks in Hiroshima. Since this is a business trip I am not going to sight see all of the time but I hope to be a tourist at night and on the weekends. This is my first time spending time in Tokyo (except for just passing through). Does anybody have recommendation on places to visit? I hope to go to Ginza shopping district since my hotel in only a few blocks away and see the Nissan Auto Museum and maybe go to Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea (but probably not). I lived in Hiroshima for 7 months in 1997 so I know my way around pretty well. Does anybody have any recommendations for Hiroshima? I will take many pictures of my travels and give updates here on JapanScape.

nice car. Thanks for the invite to your blog. Good luck in Japan. I went to the airport in Tokyo for about an hour during a layover from the olympics. I spent most of the time in line, but some in the bathroom, and all I can say is that those toto toilets are awesome!

I loved Tokyo!! Isn't China Town in Tokyo or was that Yokohama. Either way, I thought it was nice. There was the Edo Museum, lots of neat history there. I know the big Bhudda is around that area, maybe Enoshima Island. Just thinking about it all brings back memories, I miss everything about it! Have lots of fun.
