When you require dialysis often you are limited from traveling overseas. When it comes to having dialysis in Japan is possible by knowing where you can get dialysis in Jaoan. I am lucky to find places I can get my dialysis. Unfortunately, US insurance does not cover the cost of dialysis in Japan. Fortunately, it costs cheaper in Jaoan. If you need dialysis in Jaoan, feel free to ask me.

Tokyo is a vast city with many different neighborhoods and districts that could be considered "downtown" areas. The ones you mentioned, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Marunouchi, Akasaka, and Roppongi are all popular commercial, entertainment, and cultural centers that could be considered as downtown areas.
I spent sometike in Shibuya yesterday. There are so many places to see and so many restaurants to visit. It was fun Sunday.

You can get Shabu Shabu lunch for less than 2,500 yem ... that is about US$20.
It is considered to be one of more expensive lunch, but the quality is great.
I think in the US, yu are lucky if you can eat a bowl of Ramen at this price.
The price includes sales tax (called comsumption tax) and there is not tipping.

My golf outing got cancelled today, so I decided to spend some time walking around Tokyo. I started off by visiting Ameyoko to buy a more comfortable pair of shoes. Then, I went to a place where I get all my glasses made to get a new pair. I had lunch in Ueno and then went back to the hotel.
Later, I went to Shinjuku to meet my friend and had dinner. I ended up walking over 5 miles and taking 10,000 steps. I didn't play golf, but I walked a lot. It was a good day.

This is about $13 at the store.
It is one of the more expensive Kaisen Menu at the store.
I don't know what I am going to eat when I get back to the US.
I am getting used to this low prices here in Japan.

Consideration
In Japan, when speaking to a superior, it’s necessary to be considerate (”hairyo” in Japanese). Superiors generally mean those higher up in a company, customers, and older people. In short, consideration refers to treating people with thoughtfulness and attentiveness, depending on the situation. Specifically, it involves considering others’ feelings and positions and acting accordingly in a courteous manner. To maintain good relationships with people, being considerate is important, which requires showing respect and treating others with kindness. Consideration also builds trust and encourages good communication with others.
Consideration for customers is called "omotenashi”. Omotenashi means inviting people and entertaining them wholeheartedly. In traditional Japanese culture, omotenashi is very important and based on the idea that "customers are gods”. Specifically, when welcoming someone, you must use polite language and prepare a clean place. It’s also important to consider their tastes and hobbies, and to offer some form of entertainment like food, tea, and conversation.
Even today, omotenashi plays a very important role in the hospitality, tourism, and service industry. Providing customers with a comfortable space and high-quality service will increase satisfaction, increase repeat business, and lead to good word-of-mouth. Omotenashi shows genuine consideration for others, which can deepen the relationship of trust and bonding with them.
Consideration is a common way to express "hairyo" in English. Words like "thoughtfulness" and "carefulness" can also be used to express the same meaning.
