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.

• Seven Bank セブン銀行1 min · 58 m
• Aeon Bank イオン銀行1 min · 116 m

Restaurants and fast food. Cafes are not counted — most close before dinner.

• Hellogallerytokyo 2 min · 182 m
• Samurai Museum Tokyo Ticket Centre 3 min · 225 m

Often the reason for the trip rather than a convenience.

Somewhere to walk that is not a shopping street.

• Park 3 min · 230 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.

• Hakuhinkan TOY PARK 博品館 TOY PARK9 min · 691 m

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