Navigating Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station is a large rail complex in the Marunouchi and Yaesu area of central Tokyo. Shinkansen platforms are mainly reached from the Yaesu side, while JR East conventional lines and many ticket gates connect across the central concourses. Follow signs for Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen, Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen, Marunouchi, Yaesu, or Nihombashi exits before entering a ticket gate. The station has lifts and escalators in many areas, but walking distances can be long. If changing between Shinkansen operators or between Shinkansen and JR local lines, allow extra time and check platform displays after ticket inspection.
Shopping areas
Tokyo Station has retail areas inside and around the paid and unpaid concourses, including GranSta, Tokyo Station Ichibangai, and shops near the Yaesu underground side. Some shops are inside ticket gates, so check whether you need a valid rail ticket before entering.
Taxi access
Taxi ranks are available on the Marunouchi and Yaesu sides of Tokyo Station. The Yaesu side is often used for Shinkansen arrivals and hotel transfers east of the station, while Marunouchi suits the business district and Imperial Palace area. Taxi fares depend on traffic and local rates.
Food before departure
Dining options at Tokyo Station include bento shops, cafes, ramen counters, and restaurants in station retail zones such as GranSta and Tokyo Station Ichibangai. For Shinkansen passengers, ekiben shops near the Yaesu gates are useful before boarding long-distance trains.
Getting around inside
Tokyo Station has multiple concourses, underground passages, and separate gate areas for JR East lines, JR Central Shinkansen services, and JR East Shinkansen services. Check whether your ticket shows Yaesu, Marunouchi, or a specific Shinkansen transfer gate before moving through the station.
