Shinjuku is at the top of my list right now for the exact reasons you mentioned. Plus I really want to stay somewhere up high with a good city view. It also might be nice to stay somewhere with a view of the Imperial Palace though. Navigating the Subway system is going to be interesting with a stroller, as I just found out that most stations don't have an elevator. With a one and three year old it just isn't optional though.

I am so glad I've started researching so early because there really is so much to plan. I just got my Lonely Planet guide, but haven't even had a chance to crack it open. I have been reading my Just Enough Japanese book that I bought at Epcot last year, however. Not that I remember anything though.
