Comics - Akihabara. Loads of comic book shops there.
You *HAVE* to take your kids to the Ghibli Museum. I fucking loved it, and I just turned 30. Buy tickets before you fly out though, that's what we did.
Take a look through my photos on Facebook, loads of Japan stuff there.

Are you staying in Tokyo only or going other areas? There are book/comic/game shops and guitar shops are all over the place really. You won't necessarily have to seek them out.
I found the Ghlibli museum to be thoroughly underwhelming. It's very small - you can do the whole thing in an hour including lunch.
Timing it to go to a Sumo tournament is a good idea.
Most people would recommend getting the shinkansen to Kyoto for a couple of days and I'd back that up. Maybe Osaka too (but I haven't been there so can't comment).
Tokyo isn't great for "attractions". The place itself with its individual districts and amazing people is far more memorable than the tourist traps. Check out the Lonely Planet website to give you a bit of structure.
If you're there in September I'll grab a pint with you.
Do the kids play games? Plenty of arcades around.

We spent some time in Takayama, which is basically a Cotswold town transplanted into Japanese skiing country.
