Japan Station Exit Guides
Choose your station before choosing your exit. These guides match major landmarks and neighborhoods with the most useful exit, gate, realistic walking time and notes for luggage or limited mobility. Station construction can change the final corridor, so use the guide to choose the correct side and follow current signs inside the station.
| Station guide | Useful for | What the guide provides |
|---|---|---|
| Shinjuku Station exits | Kabukicho, Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, buses and hotels | Exit, gate, walking time and accessibility notes |
| Tokyo Station exits | Marunouchi, Yaesu, Imperial Palace and Shinkansen transfers | Correct station side, gate and transfer direction |
| Shibuya Station exits | Hachiko, Scramble Crossing, Shibuya Sky, PARCO and Hikarie | A–D exit zones, gates and realistic walks |
| Kyoto Station exits | Kyoto Tower, buses, hotels and Shinkansen connections | Central exits, station sides and transfer guidance |
| Osaka and Umeda Station exits | JR Osaka, Hankyu, Hanshin, Osaka Metro and nearby districts | Which connected station and exit fit the destination |
How to use the guides
- Choose the destination first, not the nearest-looking exit number.
- Check the named gate as well as the exit because one station may contain several operators.
- Allow extra time with luggage, children or step-free routing.
- Treat signs inside the station as the final authority when construction changes a corridor.
