I wouldn't recommend you move outside of the city as there can be serious traffic congestions and trains are packed during commuting hours. Roppongi is basically a busy nightlife area - drugs, pimps, nightclubs and "girls" surface by evening and not so interesting during the day, either. If the office is in Chiyoda-ku and you don't want the Roppongi lifestyle, try Ichibancho. Area is very central and surrounded by greenery. Government offices and Prime Minister's Office is close by, as is Imperial Palace. Very classy area. Less than a 10 minute drive to Roppongi or American Club or main English-speaking medical clinic.
