To me, Tokyo is a fabulous city.
The shopping is great, though expensive.
The people living in such a fast-paced city are quite well-mannered, and caring towards senior citizens.
But there are certain areas where i would totally avoid, like kabukicho, for these places are sleazy.
But otherwise, Tokyo is a nice city for tourists to visit.

Tokyo (æ±äº¬, TÅkyÅ, historically TÅkei?, literally "Eastern capital") listen is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, the home of the Japanese Imperial Family, and the de facto[1] capital of Japan.
Tokyo as an administrative region, known as TÅkyÅ-to æ±äº¬é½ or "Tokyo Metropolis", is one of 47 prefectures of Japan and is not administered as a single city. It consists of twenty-three central "special wards" (which were administered as Tokyo City until 1943, although no such city exists de jure) and many suburban cities. About 12 million people (10 percent of Japan's population) live within TÅkyÅ-to's prefectural boundaries.
About 35 million people live in the Greater Tokyo Area which encompasses TÅkyÅ-to and surrounding prefectures, making it the world's most populous metropolitan area. Because of its huge population and wealth, many world records are or were held here, including the most expensive real estate ever ($1.5 million/sq meter in 1990), the most expensive city for over a decade running, the most passengers served by its train system, and has the largest GDP of any metropolitan area in the world.
It is considered one of the world's major global cities and a megacity. The word "Tokyo" may refer to TÅkyÅ-to as a whole, or only to the main urban mass under its jurisdiction (thus excluding west Tama and Izu / Ogasawara Islands), or even the whole of Greater Tokyo Area, depending on context

Expensive, hotel rooms are small with even smaller windows, very clean, full of happy people, lots of trains, nobody speaks English, Bycicles use sidewalks (watch out ).
That's about it, the good and the bad.
