STEVEN TYLER: The Park Hyatt, the hotel from the movie Lost In Translation. Every­thing's just like you saw in the movie: the pool, the health club, the view of the city, the bar. It's like a little city, and the beds are great and the food is unbelievable. It's very expensive, but it's as good as it gets. And it's downtown.

What's not to be missed in Tokyo?
JOE PERRY: One of the most amazing things to do is to go to the Tsukiji fish market. It covers probably 3 acres. You have to go at like 6 in the morning. Chances are you're going to be jet-lagged and you'll be up at that hour anyway. Tsukiji has stuff from around the world. Tuna from Australia, cod from the mid-Atlantic. You'll see fish priced anywhere from $30 to $3,000. The workers core the fish so buyers can see the quality of the meat, and then every­one starts bidding on it. There are little sushi places all around for the people who work there, and you can get some of the best sushi you'll ever have. Don't go looking for a Philadelphia roll there. It's the classic rice and raw fish, the freshest and the best. If it lives in the sea, you're going to find it there.

What's something else you always do when you're there?
PERRY: I always bring my family, so we
do a lot of kid things. And being a guitar player, I always hit the funky guitar shops and music stores. The guitar thing in Japan is booming. It's one of the biggest markets in the world for guitars. I'm not sure what the figures are, but I think Gibson sells almost as many guitars there as it does in the U.S. Some of their high-end stuff gets bought up in Japan even quicker­ than it does here. The vintage market there is huge. It's on a street called Ochanomizu.

What else might you be shopping for? And where do you go?
