Has Tokyo Station right at its centre so it is quick to get to and from other areas of Tokyo, with several good hotels,other than that not much to offer apart from hundreds of stores on the lower floors of the office blocks

This is the original business center of Tokyo with many big company headquarters. Nothing of particular interest but large concrete buildings. The main office of Bank of Japan is an early 20th century stone building and impressive.

Great area to stay. Incredible stores, restaurants and ambiance. Stores that you don't find anywhere else. Tokyo Station is located here, so you can get anywhere from here. Walking distance to Ginza.

This area has the shopping malls and restaurants - lots of choices! It is also connected to the Tokyo Train Station, so one can practically go anywhere from this location.

Don't know why you would want to walk around the business district unless you want to see business people going about their business. There are restaurants underground at some of the buildings for the business people.
