So anyway,  there's a big Canuck visiting this summer.

Any thoughts?

More to the point I have my parents landing at Narita on Tuesday morning. 
First visit since I moved here back in 1995.  Any words of wisdom, 
especially regarding possible eating venue/venues for next Tuesday and 
Wednesday night - NO not traditional Japanese.  We're staying in central 
Tokyo at the Akasaka Excel Tokyu (hell I'm not paying!!!).

If anyone could also suggest, say, two places to visit in Tokyo during a 
day's sightseeing I'd be really grateful - I AM the original crap person at 
being a tourist in my own country/place in which I live.  And these places 
should be the sort that'll help my mother fill-up the tape on her 
video-camera - no she's NOT into hard-core S&M.
