Tokyo is truly a "vertical" city

I went to Japan in May 2005.  I only had 8 days there, which really wasn't long enough, but now I know that I will definitely go back. 
 
Here is a link to Lonely Planet, which is a company that provides information on worldwide travel. I have used their guidebooks on all of my trips and find them to be the best.  This link is to the information provided on the website about Japan.
 
The Tokyo subway system is one of most complex in the world.  It is TWELVE stories below ground. I've attached a link to a map of the system, so you can see how complicated it is. I'm proud to say that my friend and I only got lost a few times on it!!
