Anime, Manga, Literature, Film

Hi,

My partner and I are interested in anime, manga, haiku and litersture (e.g. Basho, Haruki Murakami) and film (e.g. Akira Kurosawa, Takeshi Kitano, Takashi Miike). Does anyone have any suggestions of places that are connected with these genres/people/their work that would be interesting to visit? (With English-speaking signs/guides!) We'll be in Japan for 3 weeks, probably from mid-November next year.

Thanks alot.
