When in Osaka visit the aquarium and Floating Garden Observatory. For night amusement I recomend Club Quattro. Also, for dining check out Italian restaurant Pomadro. It's below the hotel, very cheap prices, and lots of food. Try the eggplant spaghetti. Oh, and before you leave get a massage.

While in Tokyo we recommend a meal at a chain called "Asian Kitchen". The food is Asian fusion. The Vietnamese Pizza, in particular, is delicious. They will provide a menu in English.
English (or romanized Japanese) is prevalent on the subways and many bus routes though not as evident in restaurants in the Ueno area. The Roponggi seems to have more menus in English.
A trip to the fish market is not for the faint of heart. We were uncomfortable trying to maneuver our way though a working area--filled with trucks and forklifts. We did not like feeling like we were in the way of those working.
Tokyo Disney Seas is much more affordable than expected--well worth the trip and an easy train ride from downtown.

The subway/trains make traveling easy. However, many of the maps are only in Japanese which can be difficult to figure out. Recommended destinations include Kyoto and Nara both of which are easy to get by train. These are full of temples. Nipponbashi is the electronics centre of Osaka where you can buy the latest gadgets. My favourite restaurant in Osaka is Torimiya which is in Juso (Hankyu line). It is down a little laneway off the main entertainment street.

If you're in the mood for Western, The Mansions are conveniently located near a TGI Friday's, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. I went for Japanese at a restaurant called "Inakaya" in Roppongi, which is frequented by celebrities. "The Matrix: Reloaded" was recently released in Tokyo, so Laurence Fishburn ate at Inakaya a couple days before my visit.

The restaurants all close early, take note! There are some "hot foods" in a vending machine in the hallway, but we did not partake of these. There's also a Hagden Daz vending machine for late night dessert! Our best tip - the shops on the lower level of the airport are great - don't miss them for last minute gifts and things. There's even a Belgian Waffle stand!! :)

There's a convenience store just round the corner near the hotel. You can also find cheap and good breakfast at a cafe just opposite the hotel. Departmental stores and main shopping areas in Shinjuku are within walking distance.
