Stayed at Osaka Airport Hotel - Osaka, Japan.

The destination was convenient. We walked for a few km and found many shops, restaurants and services. There is a Harley Davidson restaurant nearby which was interesting. Also a small dry cleaner/refreshment shop that had friendly accommodating staff.

Stayed at Hilton Tokyo - Tokyo, Japan.
|
Shinjuku is an excellent part of Tokyo to stay it is very central and convenient for getting around the rest of Tokyo. We only stayed 2 days but I would recommend Shibuya as a place to visit for shopping, it's much easier to find your way around than Shinjuku, which is very big and spaced out. Also my favourite place was Harajuku. Excellent shops, wonderful restaurants, fantastic atmosphere. Visit the Meiji shrine there, very peaceful.
I recommend a restaurant in Harajuku, just near 'Gap' clothes shop. An italian called 'Venie, Venie' We spent our last night there. There is a terrace, decorated with fairy lights, overlooking the skyscrapers of Tokyo City. Food was excellent, settings amazing.

Let's try TAKOYAKY (Octopus), a Osaka famous dish. Hard Rock cafe if you like music is a nice place to eat something or have some drink.

I found the basement supermarket of the adjoining department store a good place to buy low-priced meals. I also recommend the chiliburgers at Mos Burger!

Stayed at Kyoto Royal Hotel - Kyoto, Japan.
|
An excellent restaurant nearby is Agatha's, a skewer restaurant. Starbucks is only two blocks away. Also, the Pontoncho district is within walking distance, and includes hundreds of restaurants in a very "Japanese" setting.

Stayed at Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel - Tokyo, Japan.
|
The hotel has excellent restaurants but Shibuya also has restaurants all around the hotel. I can't recommend any specific one because I never had a bad meal. I like Japanese food so I am not a good choice for recommendation. I just remembered that I was disappointed in the hotel restaurant Oli, a Meditarranean restaurant that did not live up to it's wonderful environment.
I used the subways to get around and always like to visit Shinjuku and Ginza to shop and I like going to Asakusa to bathe in the healing smoke and get my fortune. The little shops there are interesting too. A good tourist thing to do. The next time I go I think I will take a tour bus for a morning just to get a view of the different places.
