Where there is no train, this is the way out. Stops on both sides of one road are counted once.

Seven Bank, Lawson Bank, E-net, Aeon and Japan Post accept cards issued outside Japan. Most other Japanese bank ATMs decline them, so they are not counted here. Post offices are counted, because that is where most Japan Post machines are.

• Ryusen112 1 min · 60 m

• Yoshiwara Daimon Ato 吉原大門跡3 min · 267 m
• Yoshiwara Red Light District 吉原4 min · 291 m

• Ichiyo Memorial Park 一葉記念公園3 min · 207 m

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.

• Furusato Kouryuu Shoppu Taitou ふるさと交流ショップ台東9 min · 740 m

Counted as a plus here. A property tool would count the same places as a minus.
