If you planning to visit also Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Tohoku, Kanazawa, Hakuba, etc… You would definitely use Bullet train (Shinkansen) run by JR (Japan Railway), and the main hub station is Tokyo station.
If you use Bullet train, considerJR PASS ticket, or JR Regional Pass issues only for non-Japanese visitors. (*This contains affiliate link)
The “JR Pass” refers to the Japan Rail Pass, a special pass available for foreign tourists visiting Japan.
It allows unlimited travel on almost all JR (Japan Railways) trains, including shinkansen (bullet trains), limited express trains, local trains, and buses operated by JR companies throughout Japan for a specified period of time (typically 7, 14, or 21 days).
The JR Pass is designed to provide convenient and cost-effective travel options for tourists exploring Japan, offering access to a wide range of destinations from major cities to rural areas.
It must be purchased outside of Japan and can only be used by visitors entering Japan under a “temporary visitor” status.

Sorry but keep in mind that the room size would be quite modest in central Tokyo!
