Some students expressed interest in visiting WAM, Women's Active Museum, the museum in Tokyo (near Peace Boat) that is dedicated to supporting victims of military sex slavery.

They may not have a lot of information in English, so if you are going, let me know then I might be able to arrange somebody to greet you and answer your questions in English.
Some expressed interest in the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Tour of Ritsumeikan University and AU (American University).
