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
