Hi all

I'm planning on visiting Tokyo in May next year and was wondering what district would best suit us. Wife and I both 35yrs old and like shopping socialising and generally having a good time. We have never been to any country in this part of the world before so don't really know what to expect. Any advice would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

A good site to do some research - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2164.html

You can read about the different districts.

Shinjuku and Shibuya are the popular choices. They both have good hotels and have good transportation with trains and subways. They are also prime shopping and restaurant areas.
