Yūrakuchō Station — Local services in Tokyo

Yurakucho is located in the Ginza district of Tokyo, which has about 700 meters of space. It is one of the busiest shopping streets that are lively and lively. From being built under the brick arch of the JR Yamanote Line station, or most Japanese people known as "Gado-shita" which means "below the beam", the charm here is much from the houses. This bar still retains much of its original architecture. Gives the feeling of being able to experience the old-fashioned atmosphere Along the two sides, there are both shops. The restaurant is called on both sides. That makes it one of the most popular eating places that people often stop by to eat together. No more late at night.

Around this area should be suitable for people looking for authentic Japanese food. Because most restaurants are Izakaya, Japanese style taverns And Yakitori restaurant, grill restaurant At each store that says that they like the drink line, focus on chill and eat back Can be seen from after work. This shop is crowded with people working to sit and drink together. The more Friday and Saturday, the more people here. The line focuses on eating in the atmosphere, not having to flop. Because there is not only a line for drinking, there are also international restaurants such as Italian food, French wine shops, German beer shops. Most foreign restaurants are located on the north side of the Yurakucho Station. It is known as one of the hot spots that has everything...

This review is not solely aimed at the station itself, but the entire area around Yūrakuchō Station, which has become one of my favorite places in Tokyo since first visiting back in 2017. Like little hidden gems, there are restaurants and Izakayas all along the railway bridge.

This place is very lively all throughout the day, but in the evening has a special charm when office workers come here for a post-work dinner with their colleagues and wind down. It was really interesting to watch the mix of people, some very well dressed, some dressed leisurely, but all of them seemed to be in a good mood.

As an unexpected added bonus, I watched a group of saxophone players on my way home right in front of the Yūrakuchō Station. The group name is “Lady Honkerz” if anyone is wondering. They were playing swing jazz, while dancing in synch and had so much energy.

Side Note: I included some of my favorite photos of the Yūrakuchō Station area from summer 2019, when I was living in Japan. Hence the photos are not up to date and might not be fully...

Yurakucho Station (JR Station) – JR Pass Ticket Printing Experience

If you’ve already reserved your JR Pass tickets online and have your main JR Pass QR code, Yurakucho Station is a convenient place to print your reservation tickets—though it takes a bit of effort to find the right machine. Unlike Narita Airport, there’s no staffed JR counter here to help you print directly.

You’ll need to go to the office and ask for directions to the machine, which is somewhat hidden at the back of the office center. Look for a special machine with a yellow screen that says “Collect Tickets”. Once there, simply scan your main JR Pass QR code and the machine will print out all your reserved tickets. I was able to successfully print tickets for Tokyo to Fukui, Fukui to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Narita—all in one go.

Overall, it’s a smooth process once you locate the machine, but be prepared to ask for help if it’s your first time...
