Akihabara is the "electronics retail district" in Tokyo - even if your girlfriend is not interested in anime, it is an interesting area to explore.

As far as I can recall, the Asakusa district in Tokyo is likely where you will find the closest shrine and temple, as well as interesting shopping and attractions. It is near the Sumida River and a fun area to explore. There are boat tours available. Don't miss the Asahi Beer headquarters - open to the public and good restaurants.

Here's an article about some of the many beautiful gardens in Tokyo.

I wouldn't say that Tokyo is known for its beaches (I've never been to any of them), but there are a few described here:

So much to see and do in Tokyo - suggest you start with a good travel guide book on Japan at the public library.
