The Grudge and Black Rain are two of my favorites that I remember being filmed in Tokyo.

There was another which featured a dark Samurai clan hunting down an American fighter across hospitals & stations... Had a famous scene within a bullet train / 80's movie (can't remember the name).

It minght be this one 「新幹線大爆破」.

YouTube - 【高倉健アワー】新幹線大爆破【予告】

This movie is inspired by a scenario by Akira-Kurosawa and the movie "SPEED" also inspired by the same scenario.
