Low-Walking Japan Planner: Plan Tokyo With Less Walking
Tokyo can involve much more walking than a map suggests. Large stations, transfers and the wrong exit can add distance before sightseeing even begins. This planner favors attractions close to suitable Tokyo Metro stations, then balances station accessibility, confidence, rest opportunities, interests and travel friction. It estimates the walk between each station and attraction; it does not estimate all walking during your day. This first version covers Tokyo.

Why Tokyo involves so much walking
Tokyo stations can span several blocks. Transfers may use long underground passages, and an attraction that looks close can still be far from the exit you actually reach.
How this planner reduces walking
The planner ranks a limited editorial dataset by station walk, walking burden, station features, route confidence, attraction fit and the friction between consecutive stops. It favors a manageable day rather than squeezing in the maximum number of places.
Tokyo Metro accessibility
Tokyo Metro publishes station facility and barrier-free route information. Check the official Tokyo Metro station information before travel because routes and equipment can change.
Important limitations
Attraction interiors, queues, crowds and temporary detours can add walking. This tool is a planning aid, not an accessibility certification. For station navigation, use the Japan Station Exit Navigator. You may also want the Hidden Japan Trip Planning Guide and our Tokyo guides.
