    Visit the JR East Travel Service Center, on the Maranouchi North side. They have seating and free wi-fi, and really good travel info in English that other travel centers don't seem to have.

    This is the belly button of Japan. From here you can connect to all the country in less than a couple of hours using amazing Shinkansen.

    Downstairs in B1 there are loads of restaurants and shops. Ramen Street has 8 excellent shops all with different styles. An amazing place to come and satisfy your noodle cravings.

    A real labyrinth. The signs of direction can be very confusing and even if you follow well, you might still be lost in between tracks and decks. Allow extra time when making connections here.

    At first I was a bit hesitant, but it’s actually really cool to see and specially with the buildings and streets around.

    A mini city within a train station. Busiest & confusing if you are new to Tokyo. Staff speaks English so pls check with them if you have any questions.

    Tokyo station is a city on it’s own. Make sure to know what exit you plan on taking because it’s a massive spread out structure! B1 is a great shopping district with Duty-Free stores and restaurants

    Tokyo Character Street and Tokyo Ramen Street are most easily found from Yaesu Central Gate. Character Street is just outside the exit on level B1. For Ramen Street, turn right along the same hall.

    Be sure to grab a bento box before jumping on the bullet train. Some bento boxes have auto hearing feature, just pull a string and it goes "poof", magic

    As an american this is all overwhelming. But don't hesitate to ask for help at the gates. Most workers are happy to help :) heads up if your heading otemachi station there is a nice underground path:)

    A big station which is very crowded. Get early to find your train gate. A lot of shops before and after the gates.

    Beautiful station from outside but a real maze inside. Eventually you get used to it I guess. Station also offering electronic coin lockers, very safe and convenient if you need to store your stuff.

    Very busy train station but staff is very kind and helpful. Try to be a bit earlier than departure time as it is very busy. You can find elevators easily if you are carrying heavy luggage.

    The Tokyo station itself is an attraction, be sure not to miss it. You're also able to make a short walk to Kitanomaru Park, Imperial Palace.

    You can easily, easily, spend an entire day in the dining and shopping regions under the station. They connect several nearby buildings and have literally hundreds of options.

    For railway fans, you can pay Y140 to go up on a platform to watch the Shinkansen trains go by. The ticket is valid for 2 hours

    Many train/metro stations in Tokyo have multiple numbered exits, which can be very confusing. Navigation phone apps (Apple/Google Maps) have the knowledge to guide you to the best exit to leave from

    Massive underground shopping center. Look for ramen or mascot street.

    The station is huge and there is construction both inside and outside the building. The directional signage is not always consistent, so TS can be hard for foreigners to navigate.

    Very friendly staff can give you to where you need to get to if you get lost. Also, grab an ekiben before you hop on a long distance train ride here :)

    Between all adjacent buildings, this is a mega terminal building with amazing amount of activities. Shopping includes some funky stuff like anime character stores

    Combination of traditional and modern architecture depending on the side you enter. The shops in the basement are great!!

    The station is huge and it takes time to find where you want to be if you don't know your way around. The presence of many different lines only confuses more.

    Modern facade on one side and historic the other. Massive station and very hard to navigate through if you just want to get to the other side.

    If you leave your baggage in locker room, dont forget to take the picture of how to get there since you may get lost when you go back.

    The best entrance to get to the Narita Express line is the Marunouchi Kita-guchi (丸の内北口) if you're getting to Tokyo station by taxi.

    The hours for the JR offices didn't match the info I had when I visited. Be mindful of this if you need to come in the morning or evening to do something like redeem a JR pass voucher.

    If you're spending the day in Tokyo before heading to Narita airport, & want to leave cases, head towards the Marunouchi Exit & the descending escalator for the Narita Ex. lots of secret coin lockers

    If you have waiting time for your train, there's a waiting space called "Gin-no-Suzu" on B1 floor.

    The station closes at night but still people gather to spend the night in order to get very early buses to airports, its safe, specially as there is a police station near the bus terminals.

    To get to the shops and restaurants you will need. JR rail pass or a standard ticket. Also come here to retrieve your JR rail pass it's in the north gate.

    Big stations' buildings are all massive but Tokyo station is really a town on its own. In addition to normal things, you find ramen street, Tokyo character streets and many other conceptual things

    Huge station, you need 10 minutes at least for your transfer plan. And there has a few rest room (toilet)... It takes more than 10 minutes to search them...

    You can get down the Narita Express here, but I prefer Shinagawa (品川駅) because of its better communication. It is a classic station, 10 min. walk away from Imperial Palace.

    It's at least five levels. Avoid arriving during rush hour if you can. There are few tourists pulling their luggage and you are an obstacle to commuters.
