I've never been to Japan. I have three days this december, but only 50,000 Yen.

Any recommendations? My housing is already taken care of and i'll be staying in Shinjuku.

I'm open to anything and everything that's within my budget!

Imperial palace tour is free, but you have to reserve first on the internet

Go see a training session at a sumo stable http://gojapan.about.com/od/sumo/qt/watchingsumopracticeinjapan.htm
Free, but they like you to have a japanese speaker with you.

http://www.tokyofreeguide.com/ is a good way to meet someone to take you to the sumo.

I spent a week in Tokyo, but can't really remember what I did but had a great time. Enjoy plenty of Jap food. Oh I remember one day I went to the robot museum and then went to Sega World which was right near by, Sega world was really cool.

Just walking around Shinjuku, even if not flush w/cash, is an experience.

Ditto Harajuku, Yoyogi Park. I recommend Ueno Park & Yasukuni Shrine(the shrine itself is no screaming hell but consider its notoriety of the last few decades). Be aware that if going in late Dec. you're running smack into Shogatsu( Jap. New Year) and many attractions may be closed.
