Kichijoji is about a 20-minute ride on the Chuo Line to Shinjuku. You can reach Shibuya in 30 minutes by taking the Inokashira Line, and since it's the first train, there's no crowding. There's a direct bus to the airport. The Ghibli Museum, famous for "Spirited Away," is also nearby. It's a blend of urban and natural, with a local vibe that's worth recommending.
When visiting a city as huge as Tokyo for a few days or even a week your first criteria should be transportation and easy access to popular landmarks, and for that purpose Shinbashi is a no-brainer. Asakusa-sen offers direct trains to Narita (slightly above 1 hr trip), Sensō-ji, Skytree, while Ginza-sen gives easy access to Ameyoko-Ueno, Akihabara, Ginza and Shibuya. It's also the most convenient starting point for Odaiba (Yurikamome), Yokohama (25 minutes by Tōkaidō-sen) or even Kamakura (50 minutes by Yokosuka-sen) and basically all around Tokyo with Yamanote-sen. From Shinbashi you can easily walk to Ginza-chuō, Tsukiji outer market, Hama-rikyū garden, Tokyo Tower, or even go to the Imperial Palace or Roppongi. The few blocks south of the station offer a vast choice of restaurants.
You can go further out and still be fine in terms of convenience. Anywhere on the Tozai Line will be cheaper ... Monzen Nakacho, Toyocho,... with the added benefit of few to zero foreign tourists.
Thank you for your comments. My mosaic editing skills are a bit amateurish… and I'm using a mobile phone for filming. I've just started on RUclips, but I'll work on improving for better visibility.

On the other hand a place like Kichijōji means 45-50 minutes train ride and a transfer to almost every popular landmarks bar Shinjuku.

My second pick would be Ueno / Yushima / Akihabara.
I forgot to mention Ueno. It's convenient for getting to Tokyo and Asakusa in about 5 minutes,
and it's also handy for getting to the airport.

@@OmoroiNippon You also have several reasonable hotels right there, and Ameyoko to the south for shopping and affordable dining.
Interesting choice of areas, but why is some of the footage blurred?

@@OmoroiNippon That’s not what I meant, I was referring to the purposeful blurring of people when filming restaurants, cafes and the like…
