What is in the Tokyo directory
Built from open map data, kept current, and never ranked by who paid, because nobody can pay. Placement is not for sale on NUM. Counted November 8, 2026.
Tokyo at a glance
Japan's capital and largest prefecture, with about 14 million residents. The 23 special wards hold most of what visitors come for: old temple districts, shrine forests, shopping streets and food markets. Rail and subway lines link it all, and a lot of it is walkable once you get off the train.
Known for
Senso-ji 浅草寺
Asakusa temple traditionally dated to 645, entered through the Kaminarimon gate and the shop-lined Nakamise-dori, about 250 m long.
Meiji Jingu 明治神宮
Shinto shrine to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in a 70-hectare forest beside Yoyogi Park in Shibuya.
Shibuya Crossing 渋谷スクランブル交差点
The scramble crossing outside Shibuya Station, where up to 3,000 people cross on one green light; the Hachiko statue stands beside it.
Tsukiji Outer Market 築地場外市場
Streets of seafood stalls, sushi counters and kitchen-tool shops that stayed when the wholesale market left; most shops close by early afternoon.
Yanaka 谷中
Low-rise neighborhood north of Ueno that keeps an older shitamachi feel, with Yanaka Cemetery and small family shops.
Getting there
From Narita Airport (about 60 km east): the Keisei Skyliner reaches Keisei Ueno in as little as 41 minutes, stopping at Nippori. The JR Narita Express reaches Tokyo Station in as little as 53 minutes, then continues to Shinagawa, Shibuya and Shinjuku. Airport limousine buses take about 55 minutes to Tokyo City Air Terminal, longer in traffic. From Haneda Airport: the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about 13 to 18 minutes, and the Keikyu line reaches Shinagawa in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Getting around
Tokyo Metro and Toei subways plus JR lines cover the city. A Suica or PASMO IC card, or Suica in Apple Wallet, works on trains and buses; visitors can buy a Welcome Suica valid for 28 days.
When to go
Late March to April for cherry blossoms and October to November for mild weather and autumn color. The rainy season runs from early June to mid-July, then July and August are hot and humid. Typhoons peak in August and September. Golden Week (late April to early May) and Obon (mid-August) are very busy.
Local tip
Go to the Tsukiji Outer Market in the morning. Most shops close by early afternoon. Check the market calendar on its official site for closing days.
