I usually prefer to stay at the Intercontinental (IC) Yokohama, but thinking of perhaps staying at IC Tokyo Bay this time.

Any suggestions for the three day visit?
This is very true -- we spend most new years here in Tokyo. However, there is plenty to do based on what you like -- living here makes it easier as you know the local places that are open -- what are you looking to do for a few days?
