OK - I'm not shy and retiring.

I assume that you have never been to Japan before. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Tokyo is the largest city in the world - more than 35 million people. Three nights and two days in Tokyo can't even start to do justice to the city. Kyoto has a lot of historic sights. You need at least 2 days to see the most important of them in a proper manner. Given your time constraints - you should choose one or the other. But you can't do either decently - learn anything about them - if you split your *very* limited time between them. I would choose Tokyo - there are people here who would choose Kyoto. But I would recommend choosing one or the other.

I have stayed at both the Four Seasons in Tokyo and the Granvia in Kyoto and have written both up extensively in other threads. The bellstaff at the Four Seasons will walk you and your luggage to the train station in Tokyo. And the bellstaff at the Granvia (in the train station) will take your luggage to your room. Robyn
