Just checking in from my ANA flight which has free Connexion. Very happy about that. NEX it is, I guess, with a taxi from there right? I printed out a card with my hotel info in Japanese...I can only hope it says the name and address like I think it does, rather than, oh...."Spa is available from 12-8. Please ask about our fabulous continental breakfast."

For the Seiyo Ginza, getting off at Ueno and taking a cab to the hotel is for certain going to be more than the difference in train fares. If you get out of the Yaesu side to Tokyo station, you can walk to the Seiyo Ginza, which is at the Kyobashi edge of Ginza. It is no more than a 10 minute walk from Tokyo station.

I took the Narita Express today at 16:43 and yeah, there was no reason to be worried about it selling out. Immigration was 10 minutes max. Could have walked from Tokyo station but had NO clue where I was so I took a cab. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get that map book before I left
