Suggestions for visiting Tokyo

[The_Veg]

I have a chance to visit the Tokyo area for cheep in December. My brother has a friend who lives there and has invited us to come stay for a week. We will be staying in a private home and I will be on a strict budget- too strict to go stay anywhere else while I'm there, so keep that in mind for your suggestions.
That said, any suggestions for stuff to do or see or eat or whatever?
TIA

Hopefully they'll be picking you up from the airport

Everything is easily accessible by train. The trains in Japan are great. My folks used to put me on them by myself when I was 7,8, and 9 living in Japan to send me to my Piano lessons. Very easy to ride.

There is a wonderul restaurant called Tony's. It is in Fussa, right next to Yokota AFB. As far as I know it is still there. If you get over to Fussa, I am sure someone could point you in the right direction. I tried to find it online but can not.

Excellent food. It is one place I would definitely go back to if I ever got back to Japan.
