Wow..That’s the great time to visit Tokyo! You can see early-autumn leaves in Tokyo, and some peak autumn at nearby tourist spots!
In Tokyo, you can have Tokyo sightseeing, and along with that you can plan Tokyo outskirts, like:
-          Kawagoe (known as little-edo)

-          Nikko (famous for World heritage Unesco site)

-          Hakone

-          Odawara Castle

-          Fuji 5 lakes trip

-          Small and easy mountain hike on Mt. Takao


Experience Onsens (Oedo-Monogatari Onsen - foreigner friendly, overnight Hot water spring in the heart of Tokyo)
You can get the details of various passes available only for foreign visitors on JR website. Pass details: http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/

Also, do not forget to use your passport for Tax-Free shopping in a number of big-brands electronic, fashion and souvenir shops.Tax free shops and other info: https://tax-freeshop.jnto.go.jp/eng/index.php## Update:I forgot mentioning one more great resource:https://livejapan.com/Live Japan is the perfect guide for food, sightseeing, festivals and everything you may need during your trip!!

Hi...Lots of hidden treasures but you still have to tick off the tourists bits. Shibuya to witness the crossing, the madness of Takeshita Street, Yoyogi Park.Definately, try an Onsen. I wished I’d been to Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.Dog cafe or Owl/cat/Maid...Also, if you like nightclubbing then AgeHa is the best I’ve been to in Asia so far!!!I found watching travel blogs on YouTube was a good guide to. So much to do but depends on your personal tastes.Hope that helped a little.
