I assumed you would be on the WEST side of Tokyo. But you're way outside to the EAST ... which brings you much closer to the nursery than I thought. Your subway might even connect to the train line from the east rather than heading toward Tokyo & making a u turn.. With Tokyo at the center of the clock, Shinjuku is about 10 o'clock, you are at 4 o'clock & the nursery is about 2 o'clock.
I assume you will not be able to buy anything at the nursery. The owners are very nice & friendly people, but please remember that they are a nursery & very busy.
The Edo-Tokyo Museum is at Ryogoku station,on the train line back from the nursery. Akihabara Station is an easy station, with Electric Town right outside the station. 2-3 blocks of electronics stores. Even just going to Yodobashi Camera (right outside the station's street level gate) is a department store with 4 floors of the most incredible assortment of electronics that you will ever see.
On another day, you should go about 7:30 to Tsukiji, then walk to Hamarikyu Gardens (open at 9:30 or 10) then take a train or subway to Meiji Jinju. Unless you really need to go there, don't get off at Shinjuku Station. It's really busy & confusing & 3.6 million people go through the station every day. If you have to go there, stand out of the way & read the signs carefully (in English).
Many people can speak a little English, many cannot. Get a small English-Japanese dictionary. Sometimes people can read more easily than they can hear English.
