Getting There: Getting There by Rail
The interesting transport way like the Shinkansen bullet trains cross the country, it is connecting Tokyo with most Japan's main cities. This system is fast, efficient, maybe it is a little expensive way to travel in Japan. Travellers arrive at Tokyo Station (note that some of the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines terminate at Ueno Station).
Tokyo Station is well linked to the rest of the city via JR commuter trains and the huge subway system. More assistance or information on Tokyo can be obtained by contacting the Tokyo Tourist Information Center (dubbed "Tokyo i") on the first floor of the the Tokyo International Forum. It is situated a block away from Tokyo Station at 3-5-1 Marunouchi.
The Information Bureau of Tokyo (run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government) is another information source for foreign people at Tokyo. It is situated in Tokyo Station in the JR View Plaza, near the Yaesu Central Exit (available on Monday through Saturday 9am to 6pm; closed Sunday and holidays).
