Today I went to Ginza, another shopping neighborhood like 5th Avenue in NY. High end shops, department stores and they close one of the main streets on the weekends for pedestrians.
A short walk from Ginza is the Imperial Palace. The only day of the year you can visit the palace itself is New Year's day but you can visit the gardens. Very pretty, supposed to be even prettier when the cherry blossoms bloom.
Thought people would like to see the squat type toilets they have in Japan. Most public places also have western toilets but you will see these in public restrooms, authentic Japanese restaurants and outside of Tokyo.

Looks like the Ginza has changed-- used to be primarily nightclubs and as notorious as our "old" 42nd Street ( pre-Disney).
Also remember seeing some good size koi fish at the Imperial Palace.
A squat style toilet I used in China even had imprints on the sides so you could plant your feet.
Finally, a football score of note-- UM beat Notre Dame ( overrated at #2), 47-21. Go, Blue!
