i lived in japan for 4 years, there was so much stuff i didn't see...
if you are in tokyo, go to ginza and check out kabuki. dont' worry about understanding it, not even the japanese do, but you can get an earpiece that explains in english whats going on. you can get a matinee ticket for about US$11, totally worth it. for sumo, if you can get up super early, you can watch them practice and then have breakfast with them, its pretty cool. for a great dinner, go to yurakacho, it's a train station, and eat yakitori, food on a stick, with lots of beer. its a big freaking party all the time, pretty cool. while at a yakitori joint, ask for "ma" which is horse. they eat it raw, enjoy....
