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 reading25 found

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 reading9 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.
