I am now writing from the best youth hostel ever after a tiring and sometimes even tearful day getting to Tokyo.
Khaosam World Hostel has lifts, chandeliers, a spits staircase, more info than the tourist information office and is just 100% awesome. We couldn't find the place and asked at a restaurant - the chef gave us directions, explained how the street names work and caught us up a few minutes later on his bicycle as he correctly thought we might be lost at that point. This has been typical of the kindness shown to us in this high rise city of 12 million.
We got very lost in the station, went to the emporer's garden and stumbled upon Oktoberfest in July at Hibiya park. Also had hot vending machine food. Then hung out in the Manga library at the hostel. Unfortunately due to 33000 scouts descending on the city we can only stay one night and then have 3 more hoste
