Open late, sells water, food, and usually has an ATM that takes foreign cards.

Getting ill is the thing most likely to ruin a trip.

• Kankoku Hiroba 韓国広場3 min · 206 m

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.

• Lawson Bank ローソン銀行1 min · 60 m
• Seven Bank セブン銀行1 min · 113 m

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

Somewhere to sit in the morning that is not your room.

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.

• Sight 3 min · 219 m
• KOIZUMI YAKUMO PARK LAFKADIO HEARN 4 min · 283 m

Often the reason for the trip rather than a convenience.

Somewhere to walk that is not a shopping street.

• Nishi Okubo Park 西大久保公園1 min · 57 m
• Okubo Park 大久保公園3 min · 203 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.

Shown for information only. Our sources cover this category unevenly, so a low count here may mean the map is incomplete rather than the area is.

• 신오쿠보플떡랜드 3 min · 200 m
• Strangelove Records 6 min · 495 m

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