Sightseeing in Tokyo during Christmas

[Curgan]

A friend of mine will be visiting Tokyo for 2 weeks during the Christmas holiday season. Any proposals for sightseeing in the city and nearby area? Of course I am reffering to samurai, Japanese tradition and sword related sights. Tokyo National museum, the Imperial Palace and the Edo Tokyo Museum are a consideration.

 

Recomendations of tsuba and tosogu selling sites in the area would be greatly appreciated (so I can take advantage of her and get a tsuba and a kowagata kojiri as a X"mas present to myself )

Thanks Henry!

the thread (and your post there) was most informative, if only you had and a large peony tsuba or a nice daisho set as well, you would be my hero for this Christmas!
