Hi guys,

I am planning to go on a trip to Tokyo by myself, and as I have never been there, i have no idea what to expect. I plan to just go to Tokyo, and maybe Yokohama for a day, and want to stay for a week, or maybe two. Do you think this is enough time? Or too much time? I plan to just go to big tourist attractions or shopping malls, and just experience city life.

Also, I plan to stay at a youth hostel, cuz the other big hotels are just way too expensive. Is it a good idea? Is it also a safe place for a girl to be? Also, the hostels that I am looking at are mostly in Asakusa, and it is a bit far away from Tokyo, so do you think it is not worth the money, because it will be too time-consuming and expensive to ride the bus to the center of the city everyday? Just how long should a bus ride from Asakusa to Tokyo take anyway?

Anyway, thank you for helping me.
