Probably a week or so depending on how much time I can get off of work. Also thanks a bunch for the suggestions, I will definitely look out for madosh! because I love trying out foreign cuisine.
Oh sweet, well in any event I've never been to Tokyo and I'm sure that my friend can show me around because she's been there before, but we don't have any ideas for hotel rooms atm because last time she went her dad paid for a high quality hotel (which is out of question in terms of budgeting).
iirc, you've been to Japan recently. Did you by chance stop in Tokyo during your stay there? If so do you have any suggestions or tips for me as to where to stay and any sites to see? I plan on going there sometime in June.
My favorite avatar of yours was one where a large arch-like square was superimposed in front of what appeared to be a mountain or butte in a desert. That made me think of some perspective lessons I had when I took an art class in elementary / primary (I don't know what to call it) school.
