One night!?! That's a bit tight, but here's a list of tourist hotspots you might want to check out:

Culture:

Imperial Palace

Ueno Park

Tokyo National Museum

The Sensoji temple in Asakusa

Imperial Gardens in Shinjuku

Shopping

Shinjuku, Ginza and Akihabara, depending on how much money you have, and what you want to get.

I don't think you can visit all of them, but rest assured that the shops close very late there, so you can still do a lot at night.

well tokyo is a pretty big place so it really depends on where you are staying. but to be honest 1 night is good enough to do nothing really.

BUT if I had just one night in tokyo I guess I would just go somewhere nice to dinner, then go to the Shinjuku Park Hyatt to the new york or peak bar for some drinks. that's about all you'll have time for.

Start off in ....

Asakusa - Temple/Shrine (old Tokyo)... then 2 stations to

Ueno - Ameyoko (street clothing stalls)/Park(boring)/Zoo(meh..) ...then 2 stations to

Akihabara - Electronic District/weirdos/costumes... then 3/4 stations to

Ginza - World Brand name District / Nissans 1 car show room... then 4/5 stations to

Tokyo Bay - Tokyo Bay Super Autobacs (need I say more)... then a couple of lines and few stations to

Odaiba - Amusement Centre and more!!/Fuji Television/Views of Tokyo Bay Bridge.. then few stations to

Shibuya - Everything you want from a city here...

Thats what Id recommend. The 1st 4 locations are Station Names as well as Location and they only require 1 line to get to. Also between stations its about 5-6 minutes including waiting time and cost about 130 yen.

Hope the info helps.. Good luck.

Man, that's a lot to do in one day--unless you're just going to get off at one station, look around for 1-2 minutes, and get back on the train! Be prepared to walk!

PS- I know everyone recommends going to Asakusa, and not that it isn't a nice temple or anything, but have any of you been to Narita-san before in Narita, Japan? Even though it's a big tourist spot too, I think the omotesando-dori (road leading to the temple/shrine) is a much better experience than the equivalent at Asakusa. Also, the park inside the walls is worth the trip alone.

If your calculations are right then all he/she'll need is 2 and 1/2 hours. :)

is it just a stop over?

I had a similar thing last year. google it... there is heaps of places recommended by flight attendants who go out n party for 1 night stop overs before flying out the next day

^^^ This would be my plan of attack too. Save all the touristy stuff for another time when you aren't so rushed.

if its just a stop over walk around the streets near your hotel in narita. go to the convenience store and buy some food then try some of the beer/ alcohol in the hotel bar.

A first timer to Japan would not want to be rushed,.. trying to navigate your way around the first few times using the train system can be stressful

ull have no time! you get in at 6pm ... that means youll be at your hotel at about 9pm minumum. and you have to be back at the airport about 9- 9.30 the next morning.

for the first few times.. yes its hard for japanese/ non japanese to use the trains

Talking about even trying to get to the outskirts of tokyo let alone omote sando is crazy....and yes omote sando is far and you have to transfer many times from where you will be staying.. Narita is FAR from omote sando.

the first time i went to japan it was for a stop over too, and i had a good time walking around narita/ checking out the car parks taking photos.

you must be kidding! land at 6pm, leave at 12pm the next day. man, seriously forget site seeing, or parts shopping or anything really. read my first post, but if you are staying outside of tokyo I doubt you'll even have time to get to the park hyatt for that drink.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
