So in like 20 minutes I'm going to a friend's house to sleep overnight there, since he lives right next to the Shinkansen. I'm heading out to Tokyo early tomorrow.

I've been in Japan for nearly 10 months now, and this is going to be one of my last things I get to do here. What are some things in Akihabara that I should buy that I can't get anywhere else? I don't care if buying it makes me a weeaboo, but this is my only chance.

Yeah, I'm the guy that was going to Tokyo for a day.

So, I had three things I was going to do:

Go see Tokyo Tower
Go to Akihabara
Go to Burger King just for the heck of it

Then a friend of mine gave me a few suggestions. Apparently there's some Nintendo place, and he recommended that I should go there, since I'm a Nintendo fanboy. He'll be going with me, so no worries about how to get to the place, but can anyone tell me more about what it is?

The next suggestion was Asakusa. He said that a lot of foreigners like to go there, and that I can look it up before going. From what I can tell, though, Asakusa just seems like any other temple. Is there anything special about it I should know?

On June 15th, I'm going to be in Tokyo for a day. The finer details aren't worked out, but yeah, 1 day in Tokyo. I'm 17 (underage b& herp derp), so that limits what I can do, but yeah.

One day in Tokyo. I need a list of things I can do in one day in Tokyo. Keep in mind this is the only time I'm going to get to go, most likely.

Also, how much do Tokyo people hate Osaka-ben? I've been living here for 9 months, and saying "mechya" instead of "totemo" and using "hen" on the end of verbs instead of "nai" is what comes easiest. Back in the States I met a guy from Tokyo, and he HATED Osaka-ben, so I'm wondering how careful I should be with it.

Tokyo Friend Park is about to start, but I don't know what channel it's on. Usually someone else in the house turns it to the correct channel, but right now I'm alone.

What channel is Tokyo Friend Park on? And what's this thing about a tuner?
