You're welcome to spend more than one night at my place, by the way.
Monja street is only a short distance from my place, so we'll have to go for monja-yaki one evening. That's a taste of real Tokyo and a bit of an adventure. You make your own gooey pancake type thing on a griddle right at your table. And there's locally brewed beer that's quite palatable.
Drinks at the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku would be fun, preceeded by a genuine dining experience that won't break the bank.
No shortage of other things to do.

actually you are the second person today who told me I should spend a night in a bathhouse. I'm down.
Didn't realize so many people live in Tokyo. Whereabouts do people live? I used to live in Azabu-Juban but recently moved to Akasaka.Originally Posted by djrajio
and why are you not offering me your sofa?

+2 on the monjayaki experience - certainly something that you won't get elsewhere.
Another suggestion is to spend one dinnertime stuffing yourself absolutely full of yakitori at one of the little, hole-in-the-wall style restaurants that are located directly under the railway tracks at Yurakucho in central Tokyo. Cheap, and a glimpse of a Tokyo that is rapidly disappearing.
It's only a short walk away from central Tokyo and Ginza so you could ostensibly do some sightseeing in central Tokyo/Ginza, have afternoon tea at the Mariage Freres teahouse in Ginza and then have yakitori and beer at Yurakucho.

I live within easy walking distance (or cheap taxi ride) of all these areas, so all of this is doable. Actually, the place I would go under the tracks in Yurakucho is Andy's Shin-hinomoto. Some of the best cheap food around and whatever happens to be the catch of the day from Tsukiji fish market.
Anyhow, Ginza & Yurakucho are my haunts, so m@t is in good hands.
