One very basic question is: Are there any signs in English at the train stations?
Bad traffic.
Yes, there are English signs in most the train stations in Tokyo, except that they do not necessary pronounced as what you think... (the accent part is different).

Also try to avoid change lines in major interchanges. Ginza comes to mind. I feel the long walk is at least 1/2 mile to change line and the passage can be really crowded.

If I remember it correctly, there is a station that is at the street corner after you pass the adjacent office buildings at the opposite direction from the escalator entrance of the hotel. It has a much shorter walk underground to the platform. It is a different station, and may even be on a different line. This station is not obvious to find, kind of "hidden" at the street corner.
