My family, two adults and a 6 yr old, are very excited to visit Tokyo for the first time. We are planning to be in Tokyo for 5 days before taking the JR train to Kyoto for 3 days.

Can anyone offer suggestions on where to stay in Tokyo? We prefer an area where it is convenient for eating, entertainment for a 6 yr old, and shopping for my wife. And convenient to see the best of Tokyo for 1st time tourists.

We are thinking either shibuya ir shinjuku.
