I am staying in Ueno and have been for almost a month. I have a good idea of the local area as I walk it most days finding new places. If you need help with anything then give me a mail
[email protected] I can even offer to meet you at the station and help you get to your place as I know that when you first hit Tokyo it is a big buzz to know that you a really here. I went with Oakhouse and they sent someone to the station to meet me which was a great help, so I know what matters.
Again, I am here until June 25 so if I can help you then just ask. BTW I am on a 3 month tour made on a instant decision. Shall I go to Japan or not? Sod it, I'm going. No regrets.

Super sidenote. I know where all of the 105 yen shops are along with great places to pick up houshold items and food. Believe me that I had no assistance, so finding these places was like a great help to my survival here.
