Six of the 146 photographed sights here — each one a walk from the station it sits under.
Japan’s Levelling Datum日本水準原点
A small Doric stone house in the Diet’s front garden shelters the 1891 mark that heights across Japan are measured from.
Kokkai-gijidomae国会議事堂前≈7 min walk
Nezu Shrine根津神社
A 1,900-year-old shrine with vermilion torii tunnels and 3,000 azaleas each spring.
Nezu根津≈8 min walk
Sengakuji泉岳寺
Where the 47 ronin rest — incense still burns at their graves.
Sengakuji泉岳寺≈1 min walk
Tobu Zoo東武動物公園
The self-described hybrid leisure land — a zoo of some 120 species and an amusement park sharing one huge park, which is why the station carries its name. It sits at the quiet end of the Skytree Line, and the gate is a walk of about ten minutes from the ticket barriers.
Tobu-dobutsu-koen東武動物公園≈19 min walk
Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center浅草文化観光センター
Kengo Kuma’s stacked-house tower — free 8th-floor terrace looking straight down Nakamise.
Asakusa浅草≈1 min walk
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine川越氷川神社
Kawagoe’s guardian shrine and its matchmaker — a tunnel of ema year-round, and some 2,000 Edo wind chimes hung each summer.
Hon-Kawagoe本川越≈28 min walk
Rooms here are counted in tatami, and the mat is not one size. Kyoto carpenters fixed the spacing between pillars first and cut mats to fill it — about 190 by 94.5 centimetres. Tokyo carpenters measured from the centre of one pillar to the centre of the next, so the mat became whatever was left over.
Omotesenke Fushin’an
Above: a Tozai Line 15000 series — Tokyo Metro’s busiest line, 488.7 million riders in the year to March 2026 by the operator’s own count (FACT BOOK 2026).
JR East is a different railway from the subway. Tokyo Metro and Toei run the subway; JR runs its own lines across and around it, mostly above ground.
Your Suica or PASMO works on both. Tap in and out the same way and the right fare is taken, so an IC card is the simplest way to move between the two.
Paper subway tickets and subway day passes are not accepted, and a journey that uses both railways pays a subway fare and a JR fare rather than one combined fare.
Above: a Yamanote Line E235, the loop through the city’s biggest hubs — its own front display names the line.
Separate fare from the subway and JR
Above: two private railways nose to nose — a Tokyu 5050 beside a Tobu 50050. These companies reach the map from every direction.
Tokyo runs on rails, and a visitor's practical decisions happen at a station: which way out, whether the last train has gone, what is worth stepping out for. DealTokyo gives every one of 1,343 stations on 105 lines its own page, and answers those questions wherever the answer can be verified.
Everything here is anchored to the station you would actually walk from — not a district, not a pin on a map. Where we hold them, a station page carries its exits, its first and last trains, step-free access and coin lockers; where we do not, it says so and says why. Around that sit a route planner, live weather, air quality and yen rates, and a festival calendar for the whole year.
Facts are read from operators’ own pages and official open data, then written fresh in our own words. What could not be verified is left blank, not guessed.
Two of those sources are Tokyo’s own: the city’s seasonal guides behind our festival calendar, and its official visitor guide behind most of the sights. Not all of them — the stations we researched ourselves say so on their own pages. Every source, named →
