I recently took a 10 day business trip to Toyko, with a one day jaunt to Nikko. I'd recommend Toyko as a very interesting place to visit. The downtown area goes on for miles and miles; everyone I met was genuinely polite and helpful; there was enough English around to get where I wanted to go; and the food was very good (except for some of the more exotic raw seafood). Most items, however, especially restaurant food, were VERY expensive. If you tired of Japanese-style food, there was always Red Lobster (they had fresh Maine lobsters!), Victoria Station, Baskin-Robbins, McDonalds, and so on. Electronic devices, which I thought might be cheap, were not. Nearly everything I saw (with the exception perhaps of pearls) could be bought for less in a typical discount department store in the states.
