Shimbashi Station — Attraction in Tokyo

Shimbashi Station is one of the most-used stations in the Tokyo Center. Almost all lines pass through here. If you get lost, re-orient yourself by going back to Shimbashi. The JR lines pass through here. The underground Tokyo Metro with itd mazelike paths hold a lot of wonderfuk shopping and food spots.

Within less than a kilometer radius from the station, you can actually waste a whole day visiting all the different restos, bistros, cafes, izakaya places, and the like. Right beside the station is a building with one of my most favorite beer craft place, iBrew.

Ginza is also a few meters away so if you love shopping (albeit expensive shops), Shimbashi is your train station.

There are many restaurants and grocery stores in JR Shimbashi Station. In addition, it is also very close to the Subway Asakusa Line and Metro Ginza Line,making transfers easy. Because it is a business district outside JR Shimbashi Station,there are many restaurants and izakayas（居酒屋）, and there will be many drunk people at night.

Employees of scam shops are standing on the streets of the night shopping district, touting customers. So if you are a tourist, do not go into the store recommended by the clerk at the roadside.

It is safer to go to the izakaya(居酒屋） of a chain store,and you don’t have to worry about being scammed when paying.

JR Yūrakuchō Station（有楽町駅), which is very close to JR Shimbashi Station,is more suitable for shopping, and the street lights near JR Yūrakuchō Station are brightly lit, making it less...
