Originally constructed in 1914, Tokyo Station is one of the largest train stations in Japan, used by many people everyday. As a transit hub with a dense network of local and bullet train lines, most travelers would pass through at least once during their stay in eastern Japan. Additionally, the station is also the zero mile marker for many train lines.
With its multiple levels and labyrinth of shopping and dining streets, Tokyo Station can be quite confusing to travelers. However, it is a great place to spend a day and to make things easier, we have compiled a list of 7 things to know about Tokyo Station.

I lost my ipad on the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo. On my find my phone app, I knew it was still at the Tokyo train station. I learned from our trip coordinator (she didn’t know it before I asked for help) that there are two Lost & Found offices there. One is for random stuff and the other was, drum roll, A LOST & FOUND FOR DIGITAL DEVICES!!!!! I got my ipad back the next day. After several questions from the clerk there, she presented to me my ipad. I wept. Only in Japan.

Anyone else watching this video just sad about the Olympics? Have to wait another year before I can hear “次の駅は東京、東京駅です”.
I love Japanese architecture and it's culture. Tatsuno Kingo was a genius.
I want to visit Japan someday ☺️
I can spend a whole week in Tokyo station without a need of going out (as long as wallet is fat enough), so many choices of good restaurants and stores in underground level.
ISTG once this COVID nightmare is over, hubby and I are heading straight to Japan for a holiday. It's our favorite place on earth!
I'm Japanese I'm glad if you enjoy Japan.
Thank you! Very useful video. I'm planning my fist trip to Japan this November and this will help!
Great video!
Fantastic information. Thank You!

I hope one day to be part of this team!
Just would like to say that you are doing a great job with all this information. 🙏🍸
Great video thank you!!
Majestic Tokyo station, so much to do, see, and eat in it lol. I wouldn't mind staying at that hotel, very convenient for traveling and visiting other cities, as well as being beautiful. Thank you for your hard work everyone, and please stay well and stay safe. Arigatou gozaimasu. 🌸🌸🌸
Luciana Borinato Sad but I think it will be grander next year thinking that they need to postpone this year. Expect an influx of tourists as well, that includes me! :)
Looking forward to my trip next year to celebrate my 50th BD. Thank you for the great video!
fantastic guide !
Thank you so much!
I would like seeing a video on Okinawa Island in the summer time.
Penelope Johnson So, a video about avoiding sunburn?
good video, didn't know about those 3 buildings and spent wayyy to long finding a place there one time
I always get lost in this station, and usually need gps to find the place I want!
Excellent info
Thank you guys for continuing to put out great content during the virus pandemic. My family and I cancelled our plans to visit in September after the Olympics had concluded, but we're already working on plans to visit Japan next year (apparently after those Olympics have concluded :P). Thanks for the many helpful tips and suggestions!
Hope you'll have a great trip to Japan!
Got lost there. Overwhelmed by the number of people. Wish I explored it more
Great video and interesting facts. Didn't know there was a hotel in the actual station building. However: keep your eye on the direction signs and don't get lost in the undergrounds of Tokyo Station 😅
Been there many times. Hope to go there again someday.
WONDERFULLY educational with stunning visuals of the objects rather than the CZcamsr!
Even if I was born and raised in Tokyo, I often get lost at this station lol
Rindu.....rindu jepang..apalagi begitu liat Tokyo Station....argh....makin rindu....so...beautiful🥰
The main entry has a site where one of the Japanese PM was stabbed to death long long time back. The visit to this station is absolutely essential to know the extent of the non fare revenue generated. Overall a marvelous place. My videos have a few on the Tokyo station too.
Great vid.
1:48 A large interactive screen that displays travel videos... hmmm... That video looks awfully familiar for some reason :)
One of the very few historic buildings in Tokyo.
戦争で燃えたからね…
Beautiful
Thanks for the great work! It would be awesome to know what team is behind this work
I'll add two of this tips in my Next trip (café AMD gallery)
very nice movie😊👍✨
I love TOKYO station X
Reminds me how many things about this time-honord station I did not know.
In Japan everything is perfect!
I miss Japan!
Shout out to JR staff went I needed help to get a train to Shin-Amori!
I would just spend one day going from shop to shop inside this station.
That's what we do as well ;)
I miss Japan so much
Visit twice every year but this year I don't think I am able to go. 😣
Fantástico Raina ! muy profesional, tú y todo el equipo de grabación y postproducción, excelentes vídeos, indispensable para conocer Japón, solo falta que en tus presentaciones te acompañe un perro Akita-inu, esto ya sería el toque de distinción, marcar la diferencia jaja....he leído en tu web tus sueños de cuidador de perros, a ver cuando nos lo presentas.
¡ Muchas gracias!
Oh my god i misssssss tsuchiura ibaraki tsukuba arakawa etc......love you
Could you please do the same about Ueno and Shibuya?
There is a great viewing gallery of the station at the KITTE mall.
did you already have video on shinjuku or any of the other big metro-tokyo stations?
Good
Everywhere ai travelled in Japan I experienced omotenashi. What is that? Everyone made me feel like a rock star!
Love Japan from India
❤️🇮🇳curry
Thank you for this video. A good place to get lost ;)
If possible can you please tell me what "Shin" as in Shin Marunouchi Shin Sapporo etc etc mean?
A few years ago i was doing a job in Hakodate and traveled from there back to Sapporo to get a flight back to Aust.
Of course I got of the train at Sapporo and not Shin Sapporo where the airport is :(
shin=新=new
But
shin + place name ==> another ~
for example, Shin Yokohama is another station not Yokohama.
@@patocar55 Many thanks for that :)
What a nifty little video. Tokyo station looks like a 'must visit' place to me. I would imagine that the hotel, which looks amazing, might be just a tad out of reach for my budget. But one can still dream.
Aww the joy of going up and down the stairs not again 🙄
毎日大手町駅を降りるのに知らなかったです
もはや空港だよね…
Wish they allow me to record using drones next time..

And lie drops the life
I was told that Tokyo station was inspired by the Amsterdam Central Station which looks quite similar ...
I try to avoid Tokyo station it’s just too darn big. Coming from south on Shinkansen shinyokohama Is easier alternative.
❣❣❣...Japanese Shinkansen Train manufacturers, should setup its manufacturing plant, at Faridabad, Haryana, India...
Bullet Train or Shinkansen etc should expand, Shinkansen Railway Network, in India, to 25000 Km by 2025...❣❣❣
For the official Japan Guide site, a better English narration would be nice...
It's a giant underground maze
Sorry is not time for social meeting..Japan are in the Edge of Quarentine....
City within a city
I wish there would be prices
Insider tip: Just avoid the 7 stories of clusterfuck that is Tokyo Station and use Shin-Yokohama or Shinagawa instead.
The female narrator enunciates certain words with an English colonial accent e.g. bars/spas/airport/porter (5:00 Tokyo Station Hotel) which sounds discordant with her overall accent. Possibly a mix of Singaporean and American teachers?
The busiest station around the world is Shinjuku station. 俺は2度と行きたくないけど

@@26teishin9 everything seems too complicated

@@stefandee1970I find it waste of time to keep on changing train station never again I’m going back there so disappointed.2024 some locals still can’t speak basic English.
The English accent is too weird.
