Anyone been to Tokyo?

[WTFH]

The advice should be updated every hour to 'even more dosh'.

It's not as bad now as it was in the summer. £1 = 165Yen in March. For some unknown reason it dropped to 120Y in July/August but has got back to 140Y now.

Electronics are expensive. Most other things are similar prices to the UK, apart from train travel which is relatively cheap.

Any suggestions or general tips - we'll be based about an hour from central Tokyo?

If visiting Japan I'd prefer the North Island, Hokkaido, as there is more nice scenery and not just a mass of concrete like the vast metropolis that stretches for hundreds of miles in every direction round Tokyo (what Southern England will be like in thirty years at the present rate of uncontrolled immigration!). Wouldn't want to go to Hokkaido in winter though, as it's pretty nippy!

Where are you staying?
Are you flying into Haneda or Narita?

I thought this was going to go along the lines of the Oxo Tower

He could always take his hosts up the Tokyo Tower.

Visiting some friends in a few weeks. They'll work during the day but join us in the evenings.
