Japanese tourist traps
Mainichi article about tourist traps in Japan.
Noreen and I have visited 3 of these, Odaiba Island (Tokyo), Tokyo Tower and the Sapporo Clock Tower.
Odaiba is famous for...being there. It's sort of a mall, with a retro section that has tons of retro arcade games and a cork-gun shooting range.
Tokyo Tower is another one that's famous for being there. Fortunately, it's within walking distance of a huge temple, so the trip out there isn't a complete waste.
And the Sapporo Clock Tower is famous for being old (1879?). But it's within walking distance of the Sapporo TV Tower, which gives you a great view of the park and all of Sapporo.
