I will be travelling with some friends to Tokyo this year-end. Besides Shinjuku-Shibuya, Odaiba, Akasaka and Roppongi, where else should I visit within the city? And what are the must-try attractions at DisneySea?

At DisneySea, head to the Lost River Delta and go crazy on rides like the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple Of The Crystal Skull and Raging Spirits, a roller-coaster ride with a 360-degree loop.
At the Arabian Coast, themed after the Disney animated film Aladdin, try the Caravan Carousel, a double-decker carousel that holds up to 190 people.
The Mermaid Lagoon and American Waterfront are also must-sees for their fanciful designs.
In the city, Sino-America Tours recommends the Tokyo Tower for 360-degree views of the city as far as Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba, the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, a food theme park, and the Ameyoko Flea Market in Ueno district, if you are looking to shop like the locals. This flea market has about 500 shops selling things cheap.
