hello
I will be taking a weeks vacation there and was wondering if any Typophiles had some pointers?
Cheers
Michael
A few suggestions:
Typographic Posters of the 20th century

Great exhibition! The venue is neat too, the museum is located in the former mansion of a Japanese prince. Nice garden for strolling around after the exhibit.
The Printing Museum near Iidabashi station is interesting and they offer printing workshops:

The GGG gallery run by Dai-Nippon Printing in Ginza has good exhibits:

If you want to make the "trek" down to Yokohama, the Newspark Museum is there. It is dedicated to the growth of the Japanese newspaper industry from 1880 and probably has a great number of interesting artefacts. Haven't been there myself yet, but am planning to visit soon.
