At 11am every day (I think) Asimo, the robot, does a demonstration. Wonderfully Japanese. Asimo rocks. I would recommend popping in to the Honda show room just near Tokyo underground station.

My sister's coming to Tokyo soon, so I might put this to the test. However, I would suggest getting to Tsukiji fish market earlier. Also, while in the area, it's worth dropping by Hongwanji, which is a remarkable example of an early 20th century Buddhist temple built entirely from stone. From the St. Luke's Towers pier on Sumida-gawa, a five minute walk from Hongwanji, one can catch river buses to Asakusa (for Sensoji), although there are very few per day. This is excellent.
