I've already got accomodations lined up, but I appreciate the suggestion!
It's within walking distance of Roppongi, a subway station, and a few convenience stores....
From what I've heard, I'll be trying to stay as far away from Roppongi as possible...
How will you get from Narita to downtown Tokyo? If you're using your JR Rail pass, do you know where to go to exchange your coupon for the actual rail pass? If not, I can help. I've done this before. If you need any advice on where to stay in other locations you'll be visiting, I can help there, too. I've travelled and lived in Japan for a total of almost six years. Ask away!
My Japanese teacher gave me a map of Narita she had from one of her trips back to visit family, and pointed out the important places - where to exchange money, the ATMs, and the JR counter to exchange my pass.
Thanks for the help!
