The Complete Guide to Tokyo Station

Last updated: 20 August 2019

Tokyo Station and its beautiful, nostalgic red brick building is on the must-see list of every tourist to Japan. Besides its impressive value as a sightseeing spot, Tokyo Station is also an important hub that isn’t only served by major JR Lines such as Yamanote and Chuo but also is a major station for several shinkansen bullet trains. About 3,000 trains arrive and depart at Tokyo Station on a single day and when traveling around Tokyo, it’s going to be an important station for you as well. The station premises boast a large variety of shops and restaurants, offering both respite to rest tired legs and great opportunities for unique souvenir shopping.

However, there’s one downside: the station is so large, it’s easy to get lost! To keep that from happening, let’s take a thorough look at the structure of Tokyo Station, its major lines and exits, and what’s around the building.

7 Key Points of Tokyo Station to Remember

1. The two main entrances are the Marunouchi Exit on the west side and the Yaesu Exit on the east side
Tokyo Station stretches rather long towards north and south but the major exits are on the west and east side of the station. Marunouchi Exit is the main exit of the west side and the magnificence of the red brick building that is Tokyo Station can be best appreciated here. It is made up of, from north to south, the Marunouchi North Exit, the Marunouchi Central Exit, and the Marunouchi South Exit on the ground floor. The basement floor has three exits as well: the Marunouchi Underground North Exit, the Marunouchi Underground Central Exit, Marunouchi Underground South Exit. Taking any of the Marunouchi Exits will lead you to the Imperial Palace and Hibiya.

The main exit of the east side is the Yaesu Exit and this is where a lot of stylish souvenir shops can be found. From north to south, the Yaesu Exit area includes the Yaesu North Exit, the Yaesu central Exit, and the Yaesu South Exit on the ground floor, while the Yaesu Central Exit ticket gates on the first basement floor provide great access to the Yaesu Underground shopping area.

2. JR East has a total of 28 platforms at Tokyo Station
Including the shinkansen platforms, JR East serves a total of 28 platforms, 20 above ground and 8 underground – which is the largest number in all of Japan. The area of the station is an amazing 182,000 square meters large and would be able to fit the massive Tokyo Dome 3.6 times!

3. Tokyo Station is a historic hot spot
Tokyo Station was designed by Tatsuno Kingo, a representative architect of Japan’s Meiji area, and was completed in 1914 – the original building now serves as the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Station Building. In 2014, 100 years after the original completion of the characteristic building, thorough reconstruction and restoration works were carried out to make the historic spot more resistant to earthquakes and to fix age-related issues.

Especially noteworthy are the two dome roofs of the Marunouchi North Exit and Marunouchi South Exit. After their destruction in the air raids of World War II, they were rebuilt in 1947 but didn’t look much like the original architecture. This also was reverted in 2014 and the two domes now look like they did over 100 years ago.

The brick walls of the original building can be seen from within the ticket gates 4. Inside the South Dome, where the Marunouchi South ticket gates are located. The ornaments from the third floor upward are restored to look like the original of 1914.

4. The Marunouchi side and the Yaesu side are connected by the North Passage
The west side where the Marunouchi exits are is connected to the east side and its Yaesu exits by the North Passage. This passage is available both on the ground floor and the first basement floor, directly connecting the Marunouchi North Exit and the Yaesu North Exit. There’s no passage like that directly connecting the south exits, so use the north passage to get from one south exit to the other.

5. Transfer to the shinkansen lines without passing through the JR ticket gates
Naturally, the shinkansen bullet trains can only be accessed with special tickets and special ticket gates. Tokyo Station has designated shinkansen ticket gates labeled as “Transfer Gate,” located on the first floor near the Yaesu Exit area.

If you’re taking the shinkansen and arrive at Tokyo Station with a JR Line, such as the Yamanote or Chuo Line, you can directly transfer without having to pass through the JR ticket gates. Simply follow the North Passage, Central Passage, or South Passage within the ticket gates to get to the Yaesu side where the shinkansen transfer is located. Even if you didn’t buy tickets in advance, there is a ticket area just in front of the Transfer Gate.

Should you arrive at Tokyo Station by bus or taxi, you’ll find your way to the shinkansen area by taking the Yaesu North Exit, Yaesu Central Exit, Yaesu South Exit or Nihonbashi Exit.

6. There are plenty of shops both within and outside the ticket gates
The first basement floor and the ground floor boast an astounding number of shops and commercial facilities, offering unique souvenirs and gourmet experiences. Here are some of the main shopping areas and shops at Tokyo Station:

● First Avenue Tokyo Station (Tokyo-eki Ichibangai)
Location: Yaesu Exit area B1F (outside the ticket gates)
First Avenue Tokyo Station is where the famous Tokyo Ramen Street and its 8 iconic shops can be found, as well as the three big sweets manufacturer shops of Tokyo Okashi Land. Another major highlight is Tokyo Character Street, uniting goods of Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma, Ultraman, and other well-known Japanese heroes and characters.

● Kurobei Yokocho (Black Fence Alley)
Location: Yaesu Exit area B1F, along the North Passage (outside the ticket gates)
This atmospheric gourmet area is defined by its beautiful black wall design, uniting modern style with traditional aesthetics. There’s a large variety of Japanese food to be tried, including yakitori, kushiyaki (skewered dishes), or Yonezawa beef. If you want to try Japanese sake, it’s also a recommended spot.

● GRANSTA
Location: Marunouchi area B1F, along the Central Passage (outside the ticket gates)
GRANSTA is a commercial facility that is rather colorful, mixing high-end brands with trendy shops for people from all walks of life. GRANSTA is also a great gourmet location and we especially recommend trying beef tongue here.

● GRANSTA MARUNOUCHI
Location: Marunouchi area B1F (outside the ticket gates)
This is another part of the GRANSTA complex, also located on the basement floor of the Marunouchi area. It’s known for diverse shops selling various fashion styles, miscellaneous goods, and organic food, as well as atmospheric cafés and bakeries.

7. The highway bus terminal is at the Yaesu Exit area, the Hato Bus can be found on the Marunouchi side

From Tokyo station, JR operates several highway buses that take you to areas like Hakone and Kawaguchiko, as well as closer places like Tokyo Skytree Town. Keep in mind that arrival and departure areas are separate! The departure and ticket area is just outside Yaesu South Exit, to the right. Take the “The Access Narita” bus for smooth and direct transfer to Narita Airport. It departs right in front of the Nihonbashi Exit.

On the other side of the station, you’ll find the departure and ticket area of Hato Bus at the Marunouchi exits. Simply leave the station via the Marunouchi North Exit and go left, the bus stop is right there.

The Main Lines of Tokyo Station

Tokyo Station is served by JR (JR East and JR-Central) and Tokyo Metro. Platforms 1 to 10 on the second floor belong to JR, serving as the arrival and departure platforms for the Chuo Line, the Keihin Tohoku Line, the Yamanote Line, the Tokaido Line, and the Ueno Tokyo Line. The Keio Line which takes you to Chiba and Maihama (Tokyo Disney Resort) is on the fourth basement floor, while the Narita Express can be found on the fifth basement floor. This information is important because it does take a bit of time to transfer from one line to another and you don’t want to find yourself missing a train because of that.

If you walk to Otemachi Station just 5 minutes away from Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi North Exit, you’ll also have access to Tokyo Metro’s Tozai Line, Chiyoda Line, Hanzomon Line, and Toei Subway’s Mita Line.
