I'm going for a little over a week this sunday. staying in roppongi. probably be in the city for the whole time, with the exception of a day trip to kyoto via bullettrain.
i'll be with friends most of the time, but alone a couple of weekdays. what's some cool shit to do (keep in mind that i speak barely enough japanese to even buy things/ask simple questions...)
3,2,1 go...

If you're in Kyoto, seek out the temple with the hundred statues.
You must go to a decent Izakaya and get plastered on beer and full up on delicious food.
word to the wise...
watch out for young Kancho assassins.

Public garbage cans are rare. Do not eat/drink on the streets.
That should get you through the day.

Oh yeah - you should spend more thasn a day in Kyoto if you can. Awesome city...the train station rocks and all the temples, etc...and check out the old geisha district, althoug hthey're called geicko or something like that in the Kyoto dialect..

try not to stay in roppongi, its just full of annoying aussie backpackers and lame tourists looking for titty bars.
Also, what do you mean by 'daytrip to kyoto?' - you should not expect to travel there, look around and come back in one day, well you could, but you wont see much, the sites are pretty spaced about and some of them take a while to look about. the 1000 statues place is worth a visit tho for sure.

Yeah - I second the not staying in roppongi idea...

The little streets of harajuku in tokyo are well worth a wander also.

Oh this is good too:

if roppongi, would stay in roppongi hills. really really nice hotel. but that's about it.
shibuya, harajuku seems to be where things are happening.
kyoto is cool. but you need to stay there at least a night. it's well worth heading down there.

yeah, re: roppongi...
the hotel is a gift, so i've gotta at least sleep there, but, i was kinda hoping to stay in shibuya or shinjuku... cannot complaint about free digs though.
