The United Kingdom's The Telegraph has posted a Tokyo city break guide on things to do an see in Japan's capital city.

It begins with an overview of Tokyo.  It starts with:

Tokyo is a mega-metropolis of dizzying contradictions, both familiar and foreign. It has neon, skyscrapers, salaryman crowds, packed trains, cutting-edge architecture and futuristic technology. But it also has ancient shrines, plant-covered wooden houses, cycling grannies, old-school sweet shops and village-like lanes.

The guide's features include Tokyo hotels, attractions, restaurants and nightlife.  One of the hotels the article reviews is the Fukudaya Hotel (it is actually a ryokan or Japanese inn).  I stayed there during my first trip to Japan in 2001.

Although the guide's pricing is in British pounds, it is still useful for those considering a visit.
