eye_jy01_g0201_22 JY01 Tokyo

I am a Japanese living in Japan. On this page, you will find a 4 minutes route from the Yamanote Line inner tracks platform of Tokyo Station to the Yaesu North Exit using the elevator.

Wheelchairs, stroller users, and people with lots of luggage! Completely barrier-free!

The station attracts a lot of people. Get out as fast as you can!

1.What car and what door should I use to get to the Yaesu North Exit in 4 minutes?

You can use door No. 4 or door No. 3 on the left side of car No. 9. Let’s move to there first.

The first car of the Yamanote Line inner tracks train is No.11, so car No.9 is the third car from the front.

Check the platform door before you get on the train and move!

If you get lost on the platform where you got off, look for door No.4 of car No.9 on the platform door. If you start from there, you can get there without getting lost.

Look for door No.4 of car No.9 on the platform door of platform No.4, which has one green line. Please do not make a mistake.

In the platform map above, the direction of travel is on the left, so after getting off the train, you should go forward (right) which is the direction of travel.

Tip.
You can use the magnified view to display the platform map vertically in a larger size.
If you point the top of the screen in the direction the train is going, it will stop at the station in the same way, so it’s easy to visualize. door No.4 of car No.9. Don’t forget ^^.

 

4.Wheelchair-accessible, fully barrier-free route guidance

Let’s look at the main part of this page, the route.

The red line is the route from the 6 elevator to the Yaesu North Exit in 4 minutes. The distance is about 160m. Moving from the 2F Yamanote line outer tracks platform to the 1F.

Tap the icon to see the explanation in English.

Open the platform map.
This time we will use the 6 elevator. It is located on the left side of car No.9, right after getting off from door No.4.

The inner trains enter the station from the north, so the upper part of the map is Yurakucho, one stop previous, and the lower part is Kanda, the next stop.

This map also shows where the stations before and after and Tokyo Station are on the Yamanote Line map if you keep decreasing the magnification.

 

5.Explanation of how long it will take to travel

The distance from the 6 elevator to the Yaesu North Exit is about 160m.

The time taken is calculated at a slightly slowly of 50m per minute, and any remainder is rounded up to the nearest minute.

From 6 elevator to the Yaesu North Exit
(50m x 3 min) + 10m
So, I rounded up to 4 minutes.

This does not consider the waiting time for elevators along the way, so please allow a little extra time if you have it.
