Sightseeing
Asakusa is one of the must see attractions in Tokyo. Usually very busy but has great feel to it. Also some nice street food/sweets to try, and lots of opportunities to by souvenirs. The temple and gates aren't bad either!

Parks & Nature
This is Japan's oldest amusement park and has a wonderful retro feel to it. I loved the pedal helicopters and the ghost train ride. But of course the highlight was the panda cars!

Arts & Culture
A lot more interactive than I expected! Can play 70-80% of the drums, but can be aweful loud with more than about 5 people in there as the museum consists of one room. For 500 yen it's a pretty good place to bash about.

Shopping
Decent shopping mall on top of the train station. There's a little bit of everything, but nothing special that makes it better than amy other average mall. There's restaurants on the top floor, and a roof top terrasse. The terrasse can usually be visited free of charge and picknicking is allowed (there's chairs and tables, and soft drink vending machines) but in summer there's also a restaurant-bar. It even offers a view of the skytree

A fairly large grocery store, conveniently located across from Kaminarimon. Very reasonable prices too.
