hey guys I plan on going to japan this month of april 11- 16 2016.
I have no clue where to stay (city locations) and what to do as well as what to avoid.
all I know is to stay away from red light districts but I don't know which cities those are.
what should I bring or not bring?
how should I prepare?
any advice or help is appreciated.

It depends on what sights you want to see but staying near any of the stations on the Yamanote line are usually pretty convenient if you are getting a JR pass - Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc.
You can get pretty much anything you may need in Japan so I can't think of anything you would need to specifically bring with you
You may be able to catch the cherry blossoms around that time as well!

I was a first time visitor to Tokyo in Sept (from US). We stayed at the Park Hyatt and found it a good base (15 min walk from transport station) and we didn't run into anything seedy. We walked all around Shunjuku, Shibuya and Akihabara ... It was all amazing!
Nope! Lol - it was very pricey. But we are huge Lost in Translation fans and figured this might be our only trip to Tokyo so we might as well save and stay at the place we wanted. I can say that it was worth it ... Best service I have ever had anywhere. Food was great, gym and spa were fantastic ... And the location, for us, was convenient - just a 10-15 minute walk to the train station.
I've always stayed near Shinjuku station at Keio plaza. It's one of the main train hub so really easy to go anywhere. It's also near the business area so more quiet at night but very safe. Generally, rooms are smaller unless you stay at a Western-styled hotel.
I just came back from Japan last week and stayed in Ginza. It was my first visit and the location was perfect as close to the main shopping strips in the area. Designer heaven and plenty of department stores. Was a quick train trip to Shinjuku as well. We stayed at Mercure Hotel which is very basic, but we had limited time when arranging and a lot of hotels were booked out at that time.
