My personal opinion is that you're time would be best spent outside of
Tokyo. But I'm not a huge fan of Tokyo; too busy and too many
opportunities/reasons to not speak Japanese. Try something a bit more
rural if you can and visit Tokyo; I think in the long run you'll
benefit from the way a not-so-big metropolis forces you to actually use
the language you learn. If you're studying for a year you notice this
less than if you're there for a month, and individual tastes/study
habits play a major role as well.

Yamasa, of course, comes to mind.
