>>65182121I highly recommend memorizing hiragana and katakana for that trip. Tokyo Street Kart is fun, go at night. Bar High 5 was the best bar I visited there. Kimi Ryoukan in Ikebukuro was a nice stay tucked away while still being very central and easy to find and get around from. pic related is the most memorable meal I had there, Matsuya Curry, a 24 hour chain restaurant. Absolutely delicious. Wear comfy shoes, you'll do a lot of walking.
