Well, color me surprised but I also see that Radisson rate for random dates in November. The Hilton seems to be quite a bit more on the websites I checked.

Even if you could get the Radisson, I suggest looking for someplace in the city. You have very little time in Tokyo and you would be spending 3+ hours each day either navigating to/from Tokyo Station or riding trains back and forth. Once in Tokyo, you will need to use subways or cabs to get many places although the Rail Pass will get you on JR trains to or near some tourist sites. For example, one of my favorite places to recommend for a visit is Asakusa Kannon/Senso-ji Temple with the adjacent Nakamise Shopping Street and surrounding old-town Asakusa for walking. You can't get to Asakusa on a JR train but 2 different subway lines will get you there. The JR Rail Pass does not cover subways. On the other hand, Ueno Park and all the museums and monuments are right outside Ueno Station, on the Yamanote Loop Line which IS covered by the Rail Pass. YMMV depending on what you want to see and where you want to go in Tokyo. Likewise, in Kyoto, you will need to use buses and subways (or cabs) to get around, which are not covered by the Rail Pass but a ride into Osaka or Nara on JR trains would be. Even with a Rail Pass, you are going to have additional transportation costs.

If you decide to stay out by NRT, you will need to take the hotel shuttle to the airport each morning to catch the Narita Express into the city and then, at the end of the day, return to the airport and catch the shuttle back to the hotel. In this case, you would "activate" your Rail Pass for the day after your arrival right at the JR station at NRT and then take the shuttle directly to the hotel. In the morning, you would go back to the NRT train station and arrange your seats on the N'Ex train using your Rail Pass and repeat each day. Remember that your Rail Pass becomes useless at the end of the 7th day of activation so you would need to be back from Kyoto and to the airport by then or have to pay for any additional rides after that 7th day.

On the day you move to Kyoto, you will have to again travel into town to Tokyo Station or Shinagawa Station to catch the shinkansen to Kyoto.
