Shinjuku
If you had to pick *one* destination to visit in Japan arguably it would be Shinjuku (Kyoto/Ginza both being a *very* close second, but I still think Shinjuku takes top spot). It packs a lot that is Japan within a 3km radius of the main train station. Shopping, Temples, Dining, Gov't buildings, architecture (some of Japan's tallest buildings), nightlife, daylife, etc...
It's *most* ironic that effectively the only two times I ever went to Shinjuku were when I first moved there 22 years ago to shop for furniture and 22 years later to pickup some last-minute shopping items when I was about to finalize my residency of living in Japan.
