We'll be at the Hilton Tokyo, Shinjuku. (Amex Surpass)

Hilton is basically across the street. I prefer the Hyatt Regency over the Hilton, considering how absurdly cheap on points the Hyatt is. Both are good hotels and some of my colleagues prefer Hilton

GET A POCKET WIFI - Don't pay for BS International calling planfor $25 that gets you scraps of data + calling

There are a ton of options but I use this company every time. LINK Trust me, it is about $7-10/ day and worth every cent.

I don't really have a ton of personal time when I make the trip so I'm not the one to ask. The one thing I'd do for sure is climb Mt. Fuji

If you go climb Fuji-san, I'd highly recommend going with a guided tour. Cost about $200, but they give you lodging on mtn, food and transportation that otherwise costs ~$125. Well worth the $75 to have a guided tour


You also can save yourself a hotel night expense by doing the tour. All hotels in Tokyo should hold your bags if you check out for just one day
