It appears that Koto-ku is predominantly residential and doesn't offer much for entertainment. It's close enough, however, to Chuo and Taito wards, where much of the shopping and entertainment can be found. Chuo ward is directly west and contains Ginza, while Taito ward has Akihabara, Ueno and Asakusa.
I have heard people and some travel books say that the transport system is very difficult to navigate. Perhaps they were born in one-line subway cities. It's not hard at all to figure out. You can learn that quickly and then Tokyo is your town.
