Thanks for the good advice. I'm thinking hard about a rail pass - only thing is, my cheap (cheap!) deal includes 7 nights at a pretty nice hotel in Shibuya, so I'm reluctant to spend a lot on overnights outside the city. Day trips for sure and maybe one (max two) overnights, as paying for two rooms can add up fast. Is Kyoto feasible as a day trip? I know it can be done logistically, but is it worth it? I hate the idea of missing Kyoto but I don't want to do even worse by shortchanging it. I'm also thinking of Kamakura and Hakone as day trip options, though Hakone looks like another one better with an overnight.
As for Tokyo itself, yes, I'm toying with the Ghibli Museum - worth it, in your opinion? Obviously I'll hit Akiba and try and get to a meido cafe and a doujinshi fair for sure. I'm also up for an onsen visit (how can I visit Japan without the obligatory hot springs episode) and I thought Hakone might be good for that...
