Itinerary Suggetions for Tokyo

I plan to spend 6 days in Tokyo (alone) in mid- June. I'd like to know what I should see and what I should skip.

I love to shop, go sightseeing, maybe experience nightlife, and take pictures.

I'm also looking for a really nice luxury hotel in the perfect area.. I'm undecided I've looked at The Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons (both), The Park Hyatt, and The Westin Tokyo. My decision is ultimately based on the location of the hotel to the best landmarks.

Tokyo attractions are introduced here:

All the hotels, except the Westin are at a similar, extremely high level. The Westin is not as good. The Four Season Chinzan-so is not conveniently located. The Ritz-Carlton is the best Tokyo hotel in my opinion, although the location is not perfect (unless you like Roppongi).

You should stay at the Peninsula Hotel in Yurakucho because it's really convenient. But if you like 6-star service, you should stay at the Mandaring Oriental in Nihonbashi.

Here are some suggestions I typed earlier about Tokyo:

I'd skip the Sony Building (been there, and was overrated to me, not much to do, practically just like going into a big Sony store.) If you're in to technology I'd check out Akihabara district. Also, if you're in to cars you can go inside all the cars at Toyota's multistory Amlux building in Ikebukuro. As for Tokyo tower, I did not go up in it, only near it. For another good view of the city, I'd recommend the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in Shinjuku. (Check out the world's busiest train station in Shinjuku also). And Shinjuku park is near there too. The area around the Imperial Palace is nice to walk around, and the garden there and area near Yasukuni shrine and the war museum there are nice too. A unique view of the city that I'd recommend would be to go to Hama Rikyu garden which is along the water and has a good view of Rainbow Bridge. (before you go to the garden, check out Tsukiji fish market in the early morning, it's within 10 min. walking distance) Inside the garden you can board a boat to take the Sumida River cruise up to Asakusa. The cruise gives you a unique view of part of the city. In Asakusa you can go to Sensoji temple and then walk over to Ueno park and visit a museum or two there if you want. There are also some pedestrian walkways with shops and street vendors outside of Ueno train station. For night life I'd recommend Shibuya and the many busy pedestrian walkways/streets there. There's also Shinjuku and Roppongi for nightlife.
Check out the Tokyo Museum Guide also:

Also, you could take a day trip to Yokohama or outside of Tokyo into a more natural area. I'd recommend buying these books to bring along: Lonely Planet Japan, Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide (3rd Ed.) (a must have), Streetwise Tokyo laminated map (very handy), Day walks near Tokyo, and Time Out Guide to Tokyo (a must have, in my opinion the best Tokyo Travel Guide book).

As for a hotel, I'd stay somewhere along the Yamanote line. Does not really matter where that much, b/c it only takes about a half hour by train to get any where on the Yamanote line (since it's a loop). Also, all the places I recommended are in good walking distance from the Yamanote line. Personally, I'd try to stay closer to Shinjuku and Shibuya side of the Yamanote line. But if you stay on the Tokyo/Ueno side there are a lot of things near there too.

Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences to report for the Conrad Hotel? I see a great deal for $2,136 USD + Full breakfast for 6 days accommodation.

The Conrad is also in the leading group of Tokyo hotels, and conveniently located.

I'm curious to know if this hotel is in a good location.

Thanks for all the info so far, its been great!

Four Seasons- Marunouchi is one of the most conveniently located. It's by Tokyo Station.
