The next time I go to Australia (trip #3!
), I was thinking of going via Tokyo for a change having already been to Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok. I was quite looking forward to it when a friend of mine who has been said Tokyo's awful... He said its bewildering, no-one speaks English, its impossible to find you way around and its way too hectic.
I was planning a 2-night stopover, and being in January I presume it would be pretty cold.
So, as someone who has never been to Japan and doesn't speak Japanese, do you think tried and tested (and very much enjoyed) stopovers like Hong Kong, Singapore or Bangkok would be better?
Can anyone else share their Tokyo experiences? (And I don't want residents telling me how great it is, I want tourists' opinions).
