What would you do?

I'm faced next week with no specific plans in Japan, other than being in Nara on May 19-23 for the conference. If anyone reading this cared to offer advice, it would be appreciated. What would you do, if you were given an evening, then half-day in Tokyo? Followed by train travel (most direct bullet train, or an alternate routing) down to Nara, which is full of temples, history and tame deer?

Then at the end of the week in Nara, maybe an overnight somewhere in Kyoto before returning to Tokyo for another 24-hour stay there?

Japan isn't as strict as other Asian countries about the clothes you can wear. Since you are just being a tourist, you can get away with just about anything. I might recommend NOT wearing tank tops - you should wear tops that go over the shoulder; that's about the only taboo I can think of. See what the Japanese are wearing when you arrive and go with that.
