Ginza and Tsukiji

[512kb]

For those of you who have been to Ginza: does it have a fishy smell in the air because of the Tsukiji fish market near by? If so, does anyone reccomend a good place to stay in Tokyo? Thanks ^_^

Even Tsukiji doesn't have an appreciably fishy smell in the air.

The only thing "fishy" in the air in Ginza are the oji-san's with the extremely hot babe at their arm carrying loads of shopping bags

Nope, Ginza smells fine. Where in Tokyo do you want to stay? There are many nice places to stay and the subway system is such that wherever you stay, it's never that far from any place in Tokyo.

Before my first trip there, I've been 3 times now in the past 8 months, I was really concerned where I was going to stay because I didn't want to be too far from certain areas. But now that I've been there 3 times, I can honestly say that you will be astounded by the precision and vast coverage of the subway system throughout Tokyo.

People who live in Tokyo really do not need cars...it's that simple.

thanks all of you for clearing that up...and i'm planning to stay either in ginza or roppongi.

Just asking....

Quite frankly, everything is rather expensive in Tokyo. I'm sure you can look around for cheaper accomodations/meals but on average Tokyo is like living in New York City.

used products (manga/videos/cars) are quite cheap, especially on tuesday/wednesday

I'd prefer Shibuya over Ginza (price-wise) or Roppongi.

Where are they cheap on Tuesdays and Wednesdays?

 

[budd]

well, maybe its thursday then

 

[Mike Cash]

Okay, so where are things cheaper on Thursdays?

 

[budd]

on the curb!
i seriously thought the question was just being asked to clarify for newbies!
really in japan?

 

[Mike Cash]

Uh...last time I looked I was really in Japan. They don't normally sell things on the curb around where I am, though. Especially cars. I asked for the clarification in hopes of running across some bargains for myself.

 

[celtician]

Depends on what you want to buy...the girls are cheap in Harajuku on Saturdays.

 

[Mike Cash]

Cheap on Saturdays. Tawdry every day.

free is the same thing as cheap imo
even cheaper than cheap
