I am going to Tokyo in a couple of days. Anyone want to suggest a few sites to see?

1.Kabuki-za Theater
Tokyo’s signature performing art features amazing costumes, battle scenes, and stagecraft; melodramas of samurai and courtesans played by all-male performers; rent the English blow-by-blow audio narration.
2. New National Theater Tokyo
Opened in 1997; top venue for opera, ballet, and contemporary dance.
3. Noh
This hypnotic, sonorous theater art is the world’s oldest continuously in performance. Reminiscent of classical Greek theater; employs masks, grand robes, and great allegory.
4. Takarazuka Theater
All-female counterpart to the all-male Kabuki stage; presents revues and dramas; expect tuxes; English synopses available.
5. Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra
Led by the Korean conductor Myung-Whun Chung; performs in venues including Suntory Hall and Tokyo Opera City (both worth a visit for their renowned acoustics).
I hope this helps :)

M$For art museums then Ueno is fantastic! You can choose from Asian or Western art as there are different museums dedicated to each here. If you like science museums then head over to Odaiba. I like this area anyway as you get some great views of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay. You'll also find the Miraikan here - the future science museum - you can actively get involved with some of the exhibits as they require you to demonstrate how things work, you can clamber in an old space shuttle living room, or catch a show with the robot asimo. All good stuff!
Hope it helps!
