  • How do you get from Tokyo Station to Akihabara? I was asked this in a message and I thought I'd simply show you! Let's go via Japan Rail on the Yamanote Line which circles Tokyo. It takes only 5 minutes and trains depart every 3 minutes.
    Walking take about 30 minutes.
    By subway there is the Marunouchi Line which requires a transfer to the Hibiya Line.
    You can use nearby stations like Nihonbashi, Otemachi, Yurakucho by Tokyo Station. Near Akihabara Station is Iwamotocho which is on the TOEI Shinjuku Line and is only a 3 min walk to Akihabara Station.

But I heard you say in the video that you can see the passage way to the Yaesu side, "so you can go underground or overground." I'm on the Yaesu side, does it matter what side you're on to get to the Yamanote Line? I wish I was closer to the front of the station. I'm going there today and not sure how to get around from the Yaesu side to the JR trains.

My impression is that there's no garbage nor places to sit. Am I missing something or do Japanese never sit? Good etiquette says we should not walk and eat or drink, but there doesn't seem to be places to do so. :-(
