Counted within 800 m of the point above — about a ten minute walk — with duplicates folded, exactly as the report below counts them. The median is the middle of the 30 areas measured here, which is what makes a count mean anything: whether 27 convenience stores is a lot depends on where else you could have stayed. Categories our sources cover unevenly are left out of this table and appear in the report below, labelled as not counted.
Somewhere you leave in the morning. Buses count as much as trains — most of what people come to Japan to see is not on a railway line.

What is actually within a 10 minute walk
Straight-line distance from the building, measured against OpenStreetMap. Walking times use 80 m per minute, the convention used by Japanese property listings. Only about four in ten places in Japan have an English name in OpenStreetMap, so some names below appear in Japanese — still useful for showing to a taxi driver or matching a shopfront.
