http://www.ntt-east.co.jp/senyo/ADSL/gaiyo/index.html lists them. 

On this NTT site, I read there are 6 "service areas" and this probably 
applies whether you're using NTT-ME or Metallic or some other ISP. 

Six NTT offices in Tokyo serve ADSL (what's the right word for them, 
"Central Offices"? Nihongo deha "shuuyou kyoku" desu ga, the places 
where they have splitters and line multiplexers and where our telephone 
lines come from) and they are:

Kayaba-Kabuto (Chuo-ku)
Aoyama (Minato-ku)
Mita (Minato-ku)
Yotsuya (Shinjuku-ku)
Yodobashi (Shinjuku-ku)
Ikebukuro (Toshima-ku)
