Tokyo Attractions｜Nine walks to Tokyo Station, a one-day trip to shopping, food, and sightseeing... Be sure to bookmark this article

#itineraryshare Completed in 1914, Tokyo Station is Japan's most important transportation hub, with a total area of ​​182,000 square meters and more than 500,000 passengers every day. I got lost the first time I came here, but after I learned about the important exits at Tokyo Station, I never got lost again! Remember, remember, remember, the east side of Tokyo Station is the Yaesu Exit and the west side is the Marunouchi Exit. Whenever you feel you are lost, just leave. Go to the first floor and the direction will be clearer. Both Marunouchi and Yaesu have three exits: North Exit, Central Exit and South Exit, such as Marunouchi Central Exit, Yaesu North Exit, etc. It doesn’t matter if you go in the wrong direction. The North Free Passage and the North Underground Free Passage can pass through both sides of Yaesu and Marunouchi. If you are still unclear, remember “just go back to the first floor.” 🚅Transportation guide: In addition to the "Keiyo Line" to Disneyland, the "Yokosuka Line" to Yokohama and Kamakura, and the "Sobu Line" (including N'EX) to Narita Airport, you can access it via the underground connection road, which takes about 50 minutes to walk. 15 minutes away, other Tohoku, Yamagata, Akita, Joetsu, Hokuriku and Hokkaido Shinkansen lines, Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines and other JR East lines all get off at Tokyo Station. 🍁Must-visit attractions: You can take pictures of the famous "Dome" on this side of Marunouchi. The attractions include the Imperial Palace Gardens, Ginkgo Namiki "Yukiyuki Dori" and Higashi Gyoen Garden. Of course, the most important attraction is the Western-style red brick building of Tokyo Station itself. There is also the Mitsubishi One Museum of Art, which is very eye-catching with its British-style retro red brick building. The art on display is mainly from the second half of the 19th century to the 20th century. It also collects works by 19th-century Western painters such as Lautrec, Lu Dong, and Vallotton from the same era as the building itself. The best night view inside Marunouchi is undoubtedly the rooftop garden "KITTE Garden" on the 6th floor of the KITTE shopping mall (KITTE Marunouchi), which overlooks the night view of Tokyo Station. In addition, there is a free admission museum "INTERMEDIATHEQUE" jointly operated by the Japan Post Office and the University of Tokyo General Research Museum in the mall. The collection is quite amazing and is divided into Harry Potter scenes. 🍣Must-eat food: I recommend Tokyo Ramen Street, which gathers seven famous ramen restaurants. Or the Hiroshima-yaki restaurant in Tokyo Station Ichiban Street, where there are always long queues during meal times. If you don’t want to eat in the station. It is also recommended that Nemuro Hanamaru conveyor belt sushi from Hokuto is available at KITTE Marunouchi General Mall (KITTE Marunouchi). 🛍️Shopping Guide: When buying souvenirs, you must go to "Tokyo Station Ichiban Street" at the Yaesu Underground Central Exit. It is a must-visit shopping mall in Tokyo Station, including the famous "Tokyo Ramen Street" (Tokyo Ramen Street) and "Tokyo Snack Paradise" ( Tokyo Cartoon) and "Tokyo Animation Street" (Tokyo Cartoon) are all here! Opposite the station is Daimaru Department Store, which has all the major international brands. Inside Marunouchi, there are about 100 stores in the KITTE shopping mall, a free observation deck on the 35th floor of the Marunou Building, and about 150 shops in the Shin-Maru Building. There is also a free observation deck on the 7th floor. It’s impossible to visit Tokyo Station and surrounding attractions and shopping malls in one day. I have been to Tokyo several times and found out that this is the most worth visiting or shopping attraction.
