You don't want to sleep outside the city: it is far too sprawling. It takes two hours by taxi to get from the main airport to the city center (unless I misremember, it was a long time ago). We stayed at the Tokyo Princess which seems to have undergone several renovations as well as a sex change (it is now the Tokyo Prince).
Have you checked Airbnb?
I stayed at an Airbnb one night in Budapest and discovered a hidden camera in a vase on the shelf above my bed, a situation I found far more delightful than disturbing. Among the amusing events it recorded was my spilling a glass of wine all over the white walls, my wiping the wall with a ferocity that cleared the wall of both wine and paint so as to strip the drywall of its covering (a comical recursion of events with my eye now voyeuristically scanning the exposed gypsum), my frantic probing the insides of various cabinets for a paintbrush and paint, and my painting.
