location for five nights in Tokyo. If he's thinking of daytrips to the popular tourist sites in the region around Tokyo (e.g. Nikko, Hakone, Kamakura) then he doesn't want to be close to a Shinkansen station at all and all of this is a pointless discussion.
I don't get the impression that the OP has worked out what he wants to do during his "at least 5 nights in Tokyo". Or if he has, he's keeping his cards close to his chest and only gradually revealing his master plan.
