Wrestling cards in Japan April 21

I'm gonna be in Tokyo from April 21 to May 4 and I would like to catch a card. The problem is, it has been years since I've followed puroresu so I have no idea what federations are going on strong these days. Is there a site that lists upcoming cards? Any federations worth checking out specifically? I guess include stuff like Pride and such too.

NOAH is running a show at the Budokan on April 23. Akiyama vs Inoue for the GHC title is the headliner.

You're leaving the day before the PRIDE Openweight Grand Prix starts. No go on that. K-1 HERO's is the 3rd though, and that's a pretty stacked and exciting show. Kid Yamamoto is the hottest athlete in Japan right now. He has his own fitted cap from New Era....

For wrestling, NOAH, DDT, and ZERO-ONE are your best bets right now.

I probably won't be able to make the NOAH date (and from what I gathered, it seems fans are shitting all over this card for some reason).

K-1 HERO looks interesting; I might check that one out.

Zero-One has an event on the 27th, but with no card announced, yet they have the lineup for May 5th up (Tatsuhito Takaiwa? Wow, I remember him and his triple powerbomb into a DVD). They list the 27th as Happening III and the 5th as Zero1 Land II. Does that mean anything?

The DDT website is in Japanese, so I'm pretty helpless there.

Is there any Toryumon/Michinoku Pro-type federations around these days? And whatever happened to Crazy Max? And CIMA?
