Going to be headed to Tokyo is September/October for a work-adjacent trip. Any recommendations on what to do while there? I'll be able to stay a few extra days and enjoy the city. I've never been to this part of the world and will likely never get to come back.

Also open to traveling to surrounding regions.

How many days? Tokyo has a lot to offer but I’ve heard good things about Kyoto as well

I have about a week available that I'm staying and can do my own thing but may have some free evenings as well while on the work portion of the trip.

Recently went back in October. Visited Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo (in that order).
Couple of tips from our trip:
•Take advantage of the luggage forwarding service as much as possible
•Pack a small suitcase inside of a larger suitcase, if you plan to bring back ‘“stuff”
•if you plan to take the Shinkansan trains, the JR pass is the most costly vs a regional pass or paying a la carte
•don’t pack a toothbrush as every hotel will provide one
•most tourist attractions require advanced purchased, timed reservations. Something to consider for your extra days depending on flexibility
•add the SUICA app to your Apple Wallet, and load it with your credit card (Amex did not charge a cash advance fee). Even more so, if the FX rate goes above 150 JPY/USD. Kind of like currency hedging

My parents constantly compare me and my sibling. It’s tiring, I have jealous feelings stemming up from this too. Even though I’m older and have been working longer, I have been stuck at the same firm for a decade making peanuts, my sibling jumped companies quite often(sibling stays in home country, I live in USA) they now constantly compare, see how much they’re making here- you are constantly saying visa problem. How to cope with these feelings?
