Marq, the direction going to Roppongi is NOT the direction that initiates at Tochomae, it starts out in the hinterlands. That doesn't mean I don't ride the line, it's by far the best way to get to Roppongi or Azabu Juban from the Park Hyatt, my regular hotel.
mjm, I did the computation and the Roppongi station isn't just 10 floors underground, it's actually more like 13-15 floors underground in the direction coming from Shinjuku! Bring your copy of Jules Vernes' "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The other direction is above at Roppongi, so it's a little better.

Your hotel is situated right on top of Tochomae Station. I would go for the easy route and avoid Shinjuku Station.
Take Toei Oedo from Tochomae to Aoyamaichome. Connect to the Hanzomon line to Suitengumae. It is a little longer (based on an 0800 departure) than switching to Toie Shinjuku line at Shinjuku and switching again at Jinbocho but will end up being much easier on the feet and will guarantee you a seat for at least the first leg of your trip.
