English signs and ALOT of peole, not a place for people who do not handle crowds but heaps of history, dining / drinks option and like anywhere in Tokyo its brilliant for people watching!... More

Generally you can find anything you need at Tokyo Station. The only downside is that some restaurants are withi. The boundaries of the JR station. If you have a JR pass during your visit this isn't an issue because you have unlimited access to JR areas and trains. Also, it is easy to get lost at Tokyo station. Signage is... More

Other than some issues getting the correct tickets (language related) we found it easy to navigate through the station, even with the construction.
