Tokyo for business

[Joffrey]

I have a coworker heading to Japan on business for about a week. He just asked if I knew any guidebooks or websites about sightseeing in Tokyo. Historical sights, places worth checking out, interesting neighborhoods. I promised him I knew important people who could answer his question so I have come here.

Any links to forward over to him would be remarkable.

Superfuture City Guide?

I have not every really looked at one, but this is what came to mind.

Metropolis is for expatriates living in Tokyo, but it does have information about night life and traditional things to do.

The guy leaves friday so I don't think he wants to buy a guide. He's basically looking for a good website with suggestions. He'll be working long hours so won't have much time to explore a lot of the city.

Bic, thanks for the link I"ll take a look at it before I forward it to him.

edit - I just realized I asked for suggestions about guides, so I appreciate the superfuture suggestions. I'll take a quick look at it before I shoot it to him. I have a feeling he didn't want anything to buy, probably just a website with suggestions and such. Thanks, though.

Ya, I think it is a PDF for a nominal sum.

That's too bad, I would have recommended the Lonely Planet guidebook as well. I bought one for my 2008 trip to Tokyo and it came in very handy. It has a small fold-out map (in English) in the back, and that map was invaluable.
