Nakano Broadway in Nakano is worth a visit, it's like the japanese nerd mecca.
There's a small bar in Shibuya called Jazz Paradise, it's about 5-10 mins walk from the station, it's awesome, google it for directions. the guy has all this jazz vinyl behind the bar and you can request stuff.
The vintage ghetto blaster shop in koenji (or kichijoji - i can't remember) is totally worth a visit, as are the record shops on the lower floors of that building (the shop has a website in english, but i can't remember the name, i'm sure it will turn up through google somehow though).
keiji haino plays about three shows a month, so look at the dates on his website.
