Hamamatsu-Cho Tokyo Japan | Along the Yamanote Line

Zojo-ji Temple

Hello Japan Traveller

Hello Traveller to Japan

Tokyo’s maze of public transport is difficult to navigate. My advice is to look at the poison green line of Yamanote. It covers major tourist attractions and you do not need a wifi to check where you are going. If you use an App, I recommend the “Japan Travel App” but Google is fine as well.

The Yamanote line circle is going clockwise and anti-clockwise through Tokyo. It is easy to remember this line and to get around. I review every station on this line. Today’s Station review is Hamamatsucho. A rather old station with lots of small corridors going in various directions. But remember, once you arrive at any station in Tokyo, look out for a map and know where you are. From there it is easy to navigate.

I have been many times to Hamamatsucho Station because of the Zojoji Temple. It is one of the most photogenic temples in Tokyo and had a very nice tradition of sending sky lantern into the sky until maybe 2010 or 1 or 2 years later. Now they have this beautiful tradition on Tanabata to create the milky way on (this is July 7). This shrine is 10 minutes walk from Hamatsucho Station. The Zojoji Temple has many events and I recommend to visit the website, you can easily translate the website with google. Tokyo Tower is just beside Zojoji Temple and I am not getting into it, there are tons of videos on youtube featuring the visit to Tokyo Tower.

You could go further and reach Roppongi Hills but I believe it is to far and to much for a day.
