as this is my 3rd trip to tokyo, i've decided not to revisit certain places which i've been before. however, from my own experience it is worth to also visit the asakusa shrine, akihabara, ueno, shibuya and it is definitely worth to take the boat ride from asakusa to tokyo bay. have fun travelling!!

Sounds like a great trip! I have been to Kyoto before, and now am going from Hiroshima to Kyoto to Mt. Fuji. Does anyone know a simple way to get from Kyoto to on of the Mt. Fuji stations, or even at the moutain's base?? Thanks!
