Easy Directions to Tokyo Character Street

Tokyo Character Street is located on the basement first floor (B1) of Tokyo Station Ichibangai, inside Tokyo Station.

It is outside the ticket gates.

The easiest way to reach Tokyo Character Street is to head for the Yaesu Underground Central Gate.

Near this gate, inside the ticketed area, you’ll also find a popular meeting spot called “Gin no Suzu” (Silver Bell).

When exiting the Shinkansen or regular train gates, be sure to go toward the Yaesu side—not the Marunouchi side. The Marunouchi side is in the opposite direction.

If you accidentally exit on the Marunouchi side, you can reach the Yaesu side by walking through the North Free Passage that connects both sides of the station.

Tokyo Station Ichibangai is divided into several areas, including Tokyo Character Street, Tokyo Ramen Street, and Tokyo Okashi Land.

When you exit from the Yaesu Underground Central Gate, Tokyo Okashi Land is right in front of you.

If you walk a short distance in the opposite direction, you’ll find Tokyo Character Street.

The Pokémon Store Tokyo Station is located on the first floor.

From Tokyo Character Street on the basement level, you can reach it by going up either Staircase K or Staircase L at the far end.
