I'll be in Tokyo for three days. Where do all of you recommend training?
Thanks in advance,
John
Gi or NoGi?
Depends on where you are going to be based too, Tokyo's a pretty big place, with a LOT of grappling gyms...

have a good time there.
I'd visit Kodokan, the mother ship. Just to soak up the history. Who knows, they might even have some newaza classes.
Max is a good guy to train with- plus he speaks English.
Acai is correct.

Three days ? :)
I recommend training your karaoke while you're there.
Paraestra Tokyo.
Shin-egota station.
Do it.
Axis is a great place. Taka teaches in english as well. All the students there are friendly, and the overall environment is great. A good balance of guys to roll with too!
If you get a chance, stop by and visit Neto Japan on Yokota Air Base. Should be a great time as well.
Purebred?
Omiya is cool too. They have yellow belts that will try to give you a run..
