I was here for the first time 12 years ago, about 2 months after my final University exams, and after emptying my bank account. On the July of 2008, I am back again. It was something of a commeration of the trip made in 1996, with less hair and more cash. And minus my travel partner from 12 years ago, lost him to something call "marriage".
12 years ago, my first night in Tokyo was spent in a capsule hotel. It's the same this time round. I would have prefer a proper room, but it seems all the budget rooms in Asakusa are filled up. A listing on the Lonely Planet does that to budget rooms. So, anyway, with no reservation for the night, a capsule will do just fine. Anyway, Tokyo was just a bit of a staging ground for the actual trip from day 3 onwards.
So, for the two days, just mange to jalan-jalan a bit in Tokyo, and visit the Palace, or rather its perimeter area. If I have came with tents, a night at the Palace seems like a good alternative to the capsule since they have a "Shelter for People who cannot go BackHome".
