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.

ATMs that take foreign cards

not in this reading27 found

Things to see

Attractions, museums, viewpoints, castles and monuments. Ordinary neighbourhood shrines are not counted — Japan has tens of thousands, and counting them would make every street look remarkable.

Shown for information only. About 3,000 are mapped for the whole country against many times that in reality, so a hit here is worth something and a miss means nothing.

Post office

not in this reading10 found

Sends things home, and holds a Japan Post ATM that takes foreign cards — away from the cities this is often the only one within walking distance. Sub-post offices (簡易郵便局) frequently have no machine, so they are listed here but not counted as ATMs.
