As far as I'm concerned, as long as I'm close to a train station and within walking distance of shops/things to do at night I'm not particulary bothered. I've been told that there are not "bad areas" in Tokyo as such, so location doesn't really matter... but still I don't like the fact I've no idea where I might be ending up until I get there.
One place I found is in SUMIYOSHI, not only is it cheap but it's right beside a big park which would be very handy for jogging, reading a good book etc... What do you think of this area?
Have you any advice or suggestions for a first time Gaijin? Thanks guys, like I said, there's only so much a wikipedia description of a place can help, I'd appreciate your input a lot more!
