One night!?! That's a bit tight, but here's a list of tourist hotspots you might want to check out:

Culture:

Imperial Palace

Ueno Park

Tokyo National Museum

The Sensoji temple in Asakusa

Imperial Gardens in Shinjuku

Shopping

Shinjuku, Ginza and Akihabara, depending on how much money you have, and what you want to get.

I don't think you can visit all of them, but rest assured that the shops close very late there, so you can still do a lot at night.

well tokyo is a pretty big place so it really depends on where you are staying. but to be honest 1 night is good enough to do nothing really.

BUT if I had just one night in tokyo I guess I would just go somewhere nice to dinner, then go to the Shinjuku Park Hyatt to the new york or peak bar for some drinks. that's about all you'll have time for.

Start off in ....

Asakusa - Temple/Shrine (old Tokyo)... then 2 stations to

Ueno - Ameyoko (street clothing stalls)/Park(boring)/Zoo(meh..) ...then 2 stations to

Akihabara - Electronic District/weirdos/costumes... then 3/4 stations to

Ginza - World Brand name District / Nissans 1 car show room... then 4/5 stations to

Tokyo Bay - Tokyo Bay Super Autobacs (need I say more)... then a couple of lines and few stations to

Odaiba - Amusement Centre and more!!/Fuji Television/Views of Tokyo Bay Bridge.. then few stations to

Shibuya - Everything you want from a city here...

Thats what Id recommend. The 1st 4 locations are Station Names as well as Location and they only require 1 line to get to. Also between stations its about 5-6 minutes including waiting time and cost about 130 yen.

Hope the info helps.. Good luck.

Man, that's a lot to do in one day--unless you're just going to get off at one station, look around for 1-2 minutes, and get back on the train! Be prepared to walk!

PS- I know everyone recommends going to Asakusa, and not that it isn't a nice temple or anything, but have any of you been to Narita-san before in Narita, Japan? Even though it's a big tourist spot too, I think the omotesando-dori (road leading to the temple/shrine) is a much better experience than the equivalent at Asakusa. Also, the park inside the walls is worth the trip alone.

If your calculations are right then all he/she'll need is 2 and 1/2 hours. :)

is it just a stop over?

I had a similar thing last year. google it... there is heaps of places recommended by flight attendants who go out n party for 1 night stop overs before flying out the next day

^^^ This would be my plan of attack too. Save all the touristy stuff for another time when you aren't so rushed.

if its just a stop over walk around the streets near your hotel in narita. go to the convenience store and buy some food then try some of the beer/ alcohol in the hotel bar.

A first timer to Japan would not want to be rushed,.. trying to navigate your way around the first few times using the train system can be stressful

ull have no time! you get in at 6pm ... that means youll be at your hotel at about 9pm minumum. and you have to be back at the airport about 9- 9.30 the next morning.

for the first few times.. yes its hard for japanese/ non japanese to use the trains

Talking about even trying to get to the outskirts of tokyo let alone omote sando is crazy....and yes omote sando is far and you have to transfer many times from where you will be staying.. Narita is FAR from omote sando.

the first time i went to japan it was for a stop over too, and i had a good time walking around narita/ checking out the car parks taking photos.

you must be kidding! land at 6pm, leave at 12pm the next day. man, seriously forget site seeing, or parts shopping or anything really. read my first post, but if you are staying outside of tokyo I doubt you'll even have time to get to the park hyatt for that drink.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
