When I originally did a search I must have done a general search and not one specific to this forum. What was brought up was more in regards to hotels and flights, which I have covered. I was hoping, and should have been more specific, of the "great" tourist traps to avoid and unknown treasures. I completely understand 36 hours is almost nothing in a city that big, but it's an extended layover and all I could allow on my travels. There are other travel sites I am using to do my research, but I knew this was a good resource of people who have been there/done that and could lead me in the right direction.
I will be flying to Tokyo after visiting family in Okinawa for a week (new nephew to see), staying at the Westin, and on my own for all transportation and activities. Nightlife-wise, after looking through a couple of threads I can see Kabukicho may not be ideal for a woman traveling alone. Any other suggested stay away areas?
abmj-jr--Thank you for the cultural suggestions, I hope to hit some cultural during the day and some nightlife Thursday/Friday night.
I apologize for walking into the middle of a joke, but do appreciate any assistance you can offer.
