Do you know of a decent online reference that will show me where these parts of the city are? I have not found a good map yet, and am coming from a strong knowledge of NRT, but nothing beyond the security gates.
I haven't found much in the way of online maps (although I haven't looked that much either). I use the "Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide" which is available from Amazon:

I was able to pickup a copy from my local Borders. This is by far the best map available since it shows all of the subway and train stations and labels the exits using the actual names/numbers posted in the stations (VERY important). It also points out major buildings (by name), Post offices (good for international ATMs), Citibank locations, and most hotels. It also shows the chome boundaries and block numbers (useful for finding an address).
