Family of 3 (with a teen boy) is planning to go to Japan & HK in March next year, with enroute spending 1 week self-traveling in Japan (basically Tokyo area) first & then 1 week in HK.

Loyaukee, please give me advice on how to book hotels here. And are we better off buying the 7-day subway pass or buy individual train tickets? (We have never been to Japan before...)

Thanks.

wow, thanks BiscottiGelato and mc johnmohn. You guys have provided me lots of useful information. I don't know Japanese, that's why I really want to do some thorough research & preparation to maximize use our time in Tokyo.

Thanks.
