Tokyo Station & Marunouchi
Where the Shinkansen starts — Tokyo's gateway, framed by the red-brick station building and the Marunouchi business district.
Tokyo Station is the starting point of the Tokaido Shinkansen, so you can board a Nozomi to Shin-Osaka with no transfer. The red-brick station building stands on the Marunouchi side, worth a short walk even before departure.

Early or late flights
- To catch the first Shinkansen, a hotel close to the station makes the morning easier. Check the first train on JR Central's official timetable.
Large suitcases & luggage storage
- On the Tokaido Shinkansen, luggage with total dimensions over 160 cm and up to 250 cm requires booking a "seat with oversized baggage area" in advance (JR Central). Check the official site for current rules.
