The nearest places we have written up, with straight-line distance from here.

400 m
Ginza
Ginza, the old shopping district east of the palace.
550 m
Tsukiji Honganji Temple
Chuta Ito's 1934 temple blends Buddhist functions with an extraordinary facade inspired by ancient Indian architecture.
600 m
Sukiyabashi Bridge Monument
This small monument recalls the bridge that carried travelers across Edo Castle's outer moat at the entrance to Ginza. The moat was filled and Sukiyabashi removed in 1958, turning a waterside gateway famous from the radio drama and film Kimi no Na wa into an ordinary patch of city ground.
750 m
Old Shimbashi Station
Japan's first railway terminus opened here in 1872, burned after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, and disappeared beneath the vast Shiodome freight terminal. Redevelopment uncovered its foundations in 1991; the reconstructed station now stands above protected remains that can be viewed through a glass floor.
900 m
Tokyo International Forum
Rafael Viñoly's immense ship-like glass atrium occupies the former city-hall site and became a landmark of 1990s Tokyo architecture.
950 m
Tsukiji Outer Market
Although the wholesale fish market moved to Toyosu in 2018, these crowded lanes preserve the food culture of Tokyo's former kitchen.
