Tokyo West to East by Train
Explore Tokyo from west to east with train or subway rides between every Landmark—not as one continuous walk. Begin with Meiji Jingu’s wooded approaches and Shibuya Crossing’s street scene, then continue to Tokyo Tower and the restored Marunouchi brick facade. Finish with Senso-ji and Tokyo Skytree in the east. At each stop, use the Landmark map and confirm your Unlock nearby; a distant view does not establish arrival.

The itinerary
Stop by stop.
Plan around Meiji Jingu’s gate schedules, and respect worship and photography restrictions at the religious sites.
- 01
Start here
Meiji Jingu
Begin on the wooded outer approach, using a timber torii gate and tall trees to frame an environmental portrait. Respect worship and gate schedules, and avoid the inner sanctuary, ritual activity and private areas. Check the Landmark map and confirm your Unlock nearby.

Shibuya Crossing
Take a train or subway from Meiji Jingu to Shibuya Crossing. Photograph from a pavement edge, letting the crossing stripes lead toward the screens and buildings. Move with pedestrian signals and never stop in the roadway for a photograph. Upper-floor viewpoints belong to their venues and are not included.

Tokyo Tower
Continue from Shibuya Crossing to Tokyo Tower by train or subway. On a pedestrian route, step back enough to leave room above the tower’s antenna in your portrait. Keep driveways and walkways clear. This is a street-level visit; observation-deck access is not included.

Tokyo Station Marunouchi
Ride a train or subway from Tokyo Tower to Tokyo Station Marunouchi. Use Marunouchi Square to frame a domed pavilion and the long red-brick facade without blocking station doors. Confirm your arrival on the Marunouchi side; platforms, hotel spaces and station interiors have separate rules.

+ 4.6 km from the previous stop
Senso-ji
Take a train or subway from Tokyo Station Marunouchi to Senso-ji. From the open approach, keep the main hall’s sweeping roofline visually separate from the pagoda. Stay in permitted outdoor areas, respect worship and incense, and follow photography restrictions without obstructing pedestrian flow.
Plan about 30 min · Visit the Senso-ji guide

+ 1.4 km from the previous stop
Tokyo Skytree
Finish with a train or subway ride from Senso-ji to Tokyo Skytree. Use an open pedestrian area to keep both observation decks visible and the tower separate from your face. Confirm your Unlock nearby in the ground-level visitor areas; tower admission and commercial terraces are separate.

Before you go
Track questions.
Is this one continuous walking route?
No. Take a train or subway between every pair of Landmarks, in the listed order. Walking is for exploring the permitted visitor areas at each stop, not for connecting the stops across Tokyo.
Does visiting the towers include observation-deck access?
No. Tokyo Tower uses street-level presence, while Tokyo Skytree uses ground-level visitor areas. Observation-deck access is not included, and Skytree’s tower admission and commercial terraces are separate.
Where should I confirm my Unlock?
Check each Landmark map and confirm your Unlock while nearby; seeing the Landmark from a distance does not establish arrival. At Tokyo Station, use the Marunouchi-side arrival point rather than assuming platforms or station interiors count.
How should I approach photography at the shrines and temples?
At Meiji Jingu, use the outer approach with a torii gate and tall trees, avoiding the inner sanctuary and ritual activity. At Senso-ji, stay in permitted outdoor areas, respect worship and incense, and follow photography restrictions.
