WEEKEND IN TOKYO – SUGGESTIONS?

I have an upcoming business trip to Seoul and Tokyo with a weekend day in each place. Having never spent time in either place and, as usual, travelling alone, are there any sightseeing opportunities that forum members can recommend? Any tips on both places would be very much appreciated.

Regarding the Tokyo part, Kamakura is a nice day out – my wife and I booked a trip there with viator.com. Some of the Tokyo activities they organise are also worth looking at, Akihabara (Electric Town) is cool and there are some lovely parks, too.

If you’re into robots and tech, the Miraikan National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation has a really good robotics section featuring Asimo (the robot developed by Honda). I’d also recommend a stroll around Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

It may be cold in Seoul this time of year but you should have clear skies, so I would recommend climbing Mount Namsan and going up the N Tower. The Gyeongbokgung Palace is worth a visit. The changing of the Royal Guard takes place a few times a day.
