Catching some sumo (at the cleanest sports arena imaginable, where a woman actually thanked me after coming around to pick up my trash).
Crossing the Shibuya intersection from both angles and watching the sea of people (men in bespoke suits and women mobbing in heels and the latest frilly skirt or knee highs), day and night.
Think NYC multiplied by ten with incredibly nice, polite people who do not bump into you and would likely chase you down, putting their life at risk, to hand back the cash you dropped, and then thank you for taking the time to stop (e.g., after my credit card fell out of my pocket on the train, a man dashed off the train - even though it was not his stop - and followed me down the stairs to give it to me, thanked me, and then sprinted back to get back on the train).
