Spending a week in Tokyo for Chuseok. What's the best plan of action to make the most of my time there? Is it worth visiting Mt. Fuji or making out-of-town trips?

i took a day trip to mt. fuji and it was my favorite part of the whole trip. i went through viator.com. it was a bit expensive though. i wasn't a huge fan of tokyo, i liked kyoto much better. i did 4 nights in tokyo and 4 nights in kyoto and wished i had spent more time in kyoto. i didn't really care about nightlife or shopping which i guess tokyo is better for... have fun!

What are you looking to do?
Shibuya is for the partiers, akihabara is for the gaming enthusiasts

There's tons of places I still wanna see...

If you want to see the crazy girls in Harajuku, jeep in mind that you can only do it on Sundays.

If you're stuck with what to do, I'll go in your place. It will save you the bother of having strangers tell you where is worth going.

Yeah, when I was in Tokyo last summer, I was in Harajuku on Sunday at the bridge, and there weren't too many people there. A lot of people peddling goods to the assembled tourists, though...

I guess cos-play has gone out of style, what with them being written up in Lonely Planet and all the tourists coming to gawk at them..
