Tokyo accom opinions

Hi everyone- so sorry to be annoying and ask this, yes I have searched the thread and done a lot of research but suddenly feeling overwhelmed and would like some advice!

We are going to Japan in March for three weeks, starting in Fukuoka then Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka then 6 nights in Tokyo.
First timers (obviously)

Everything else is sorted but I'm still undecided on accommodation in Tokyo.
We are two adults with our 7year old daughter, it's been tough to find triple rooms (we are ok sharing a king bed in small stops but not for 6 nights) so I've done the search for triple rooms (3x adults) etc.

However- way too overwhelmed with where to stay. So many friends/ family say Shibuya or Shinjuku but my brother and sister in law (foodies no kids) go twice a year, speak Japanese- told us to stay in Takadanobaba close to Yamanote line to get better prices and less noise/ foot traffic for night time.
This makes sense feels good but they also stay in expensive places and travel business class 😂

I do trust them but have now gone down too many rabbit holes and need a reset 😀 please any guidance is appreciated!

Good old Aussie slang

My friend (40f) recently exclaimed- well that's just bloody 'bulldust'!
It made us all laugh so much and at the same time ask the question- where has that term gone?
These days everyone says bullshit but just hearing Bulldust with such honest veracity made us all nostalgic for our parents, grandparents, uncles etc.
I think it needs to be brought back to common vernacular!
Bring back Bulldust!

Sawfish Bill

Soooo I've inherited two sawfish bills, they have been in my family before I was born, mounted on the wall.
My Dad contacted museums etc before he died (to donate) but nobody wanted them - now I have them.
No real personal nostalgia but realise they a worth a lot and mean a lot.
Pretty sure it's illegal to sell in AU and no way we have proof apart from dodgy old Kodak photos that they were around before the 70's.

Any idea what to do with them?
