![]() This arcade contains the popular Tokyo Ramen Street. This food court has some really good restaurants and it's less hectic than the excellent but crowded Tokyo Station Ichiban Gai ( First Avenue Tokyo Station) shopping/restaurant street, which is directly downstairs under the main Yaesu Gate. There are several dining areas in the station my favorite is Kitchen Street, which is located on the ground floor at the northern end of the station (follow signs for the Nihombashi Gate). In addition to the Kitchen Street dining area in Kyoto Station itself (see below), you'll find some of the best collections of restaurants in the large office buildings on the Marunouchi side of the station, including the Shin-Marunouchi Building, Marunouchi Building and the JP Tower Kitte Building. Just remember that this is a working area and most of the restaurants will be packed with office workers during lunchtime – try to eat lunch before noon or after 1pm. There are so many restaurants in and around Tokyo Station that it boggles the mind. Places to Eat in Tokyo Station and Marunouchi There's not much to do here, but it's well worth a walk through on the way to Ginza or Yurakucho. This is one of my favorite buildings in Tokyo: It looks like a giant glass ship marooned in the middle of Tokyo. Tokyo International Forum Building (notable building).It is scheduled to reopen in a few years. This fine museum of Western and Japanese art located a short walk southwest of the station is closed for reconstruction. For places to eat in the station, see the Tokyo Station entry below under Places to Eat. You can buy all kinds of souvenirs in the Tokyo Station Ichiban Gai (First Avenue Tokyo Station) shopping/dining arcade, which is located directly downstairs of the main Yaesu Gate. It might be strange to list a train station as an attraction, but when the train station is like a small city, packed with shops and restaurants, it's worth including. ![]()
