A Curated Google Map of Tokyo (400+ Locations)

Description

Touch down at Haneda or Narita, open Google Maps, and watch a city of twenty-three wards light up with more than 400+ expertly vetted pins. Every café, standing-only ramen shop, rooftop bar, vintage store, shrine, and hidden garden is already marked, so you can step out of any station and know exactly what is worth your time. Travelers lose hours copying addresses from PDFs or note apps into Maps. This single tap list saves you loads of time and headache, letting you spend your limited vacation tasting Tokyo rather than organizing it. I built the map as a Google Local Guide Level 8, with over 67M photo views and 2,200 reviews.

Why This Tokyo Google Map Is a Game Changer

Every Pin Is Researched and Current

• 400+ Curated Locations drawn from respected websites, magazines and guides such as Eater, Lonely Planet and The Infatuation and much more.
• Monthly Refreshes ensure new openings appear and permanent closures vanish, giving you the latest view of a fast-moving city.

• Foot-Tested Accuracy: I’ve either visited or confirmed the veracity each spot before it earns a pin, cross-checking Japanese-language sources so you do not have to translate menus or directions.

Eat Your Way Across Tokyo

• Fine Dining: Den, ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, turns kaiseki on its head with playful plating and seasonal produce.

• Tokyo Classics: Yakumo Saryō elevates traditional set meals in a tranquil kominka house, while Onigiri Bongo sells up to 1 500 stuffed rice balls daily and is a cult favorite for late-night snacks.

• Budget Heroes: Slurp shoyu ramen under the tracks in Yurakucho or grab pork katsu sandwiches at a depachika basement; pins note price ranges so you can plan your yen.

Tokyo Nightlife and Culture Hotspots

• Cocktails With a Story: Bar Benfiddich, ranked best bar in Japan and No. 9 in Asia for 2025, distills its own herbal spirits in apothecary-style jars.

• Historic Must-Sees: Walk the cedar-lined approach to Meiji Jingu, Tokyo’s most-visited Shinto shrine, or witness centuries of devotion at Sensō-ji, the oldest Buddhist temple in the city that welcomes about 30 million visitors yearly.

Markets, Parks, and Family-Friendly Finds

• Tsukiji Outer Market remains a paradise for food lovers, offering knife demos, street snacks, and ingredient stalls long after the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu.

• Green Escapes: Pins highlight stroller-friendly loops in Yoyogi Park and the landscaped ponds of Rikugien for a serene break from neon streets.

Why Our Pins Save You Hours of Planning

Every location on this map comes from trusted editorial voices and award lists. The 38-place guide that Eater updated in May 2025 anchors the dining layer with hard-to-book gems and casual legends. Lonely Planet highlights cultural must-sees and markets that deserve an early start. The Infatuation steers you to classic sushi counters and modern izakayas in up-and-coming neighborhoods. Time Out Tokyo adds kissaten coffeehouses and dessert cafés for afternoon breaks. We layer in the nine local spots that appear on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 to capture the city’s global stature, and include cocktail icons like Bar Benfiddich, ranked Japan’s best bar in 2025.

Tokyo’s food scene shifts fast. We run monthly sweeps against new articles, official awards, and local news to add openings and remove closures, so you never trek to a shuttered yakitori joint or miss a hot newcomer. When a restaurant rises in the 50 Best rankings, its pin appears within days; when renovations close a favorite spot, the pin comes down the same week. Continuous maintenance keeps your map fresh and reliable.

Setup is effortless. Tap the purchase link, press Save in Google Maps, and every pin syncs to your account for one-click directions and live transit times. Download the Tokyo region for offline use so the list works even in subway tunnels or basement ramen shops. We do all the heavy lifting, researching, verifying, and updating, so you can open your phone, see what is nearby, and start exploring immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add this Tokyo map to my Google account?
Simply tap the link in your confirmation email, then hit “Save” or “Follow.” The entire list appears in the Saved tab of your Google Maps app.

Can I use the Tokyo map offline?
Yes. Open Google Maps, go to Offline maps, select Tokyo, and download the area so you have turn-by-turn directions even in subway tunnels.

Do I need local data?
Tokyo has thousands of free hotspots under the FREE Wi-Fi & TOKYO network, but most travelers pair the offline map with a tourist eSIM for reliable 5 G coverage anywhere in the city.

Will place names show in English?
Google Maps displays bilingual labels in Japan, and you can force English in Settings → Language so you see both English and kanji.

How often is the Tokyo map updated and how do I get the new version?
Pins are refreshed every month to add openings and remove closures. You keep the same link, so updates load automatically when you reopen the map.

Can I add my own pins or notes?
Yes. Save extra spots to a personal list or attach private notes to existing pins—handy for reservation numbers or meeting points.

Does the map include family-friendly attractions?
It does. Parks with stroller paths, playgrounds, and kid-friendly museums are tagged so parents can relax while exploring.

Is a Japan Rail Pass necessary if I stay mainly in Tokyo?
No. The pass now costs about ¥80,000 for 14 days and rarely pays off unless you ride several long-distance shinkansen routes; local IC cards are cheaper and faster.

How do I pay for trains and buses?
Load a virtual Suica in Apple or Google Wallet and tap your phone at the gate, or buy a physical IC card at any station. Top-ups work with foreign credit cards.

Are one-day subway passes covered?
Yes. Pins link to machines that sell the ¥900 Tokyo Subway Ticket for unlimited rides on all Metro and Toei lines for one calendar day.

Do I need to tip at restaurants, bars, or taxis?
Tipping is not customary in Japan and can cause confusion; staff will often return extra money. Service is already included in the bill.

Can I pay with credit or tap-to-pay everywhere?
Cash is handy for tiny ramen shops, but Japan passed the 40 percent cashless mark in 2025 and most chain stores, rail gates, and convenience stores accept contactless cards or phone wallets.

What if a pin is wrong or a venue closes?
Please reach out to support@curatedtravelmaps.com; I verify and push a correction within 48 hours so the list stays accurate for everyone.

Can I share the Tokyo map with travel companions?
Feel free to share with those on the same trip. If friends plan separate vacations, please ask them to purchase their own copy to support ongoing updates.

Does the Tokyo map work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Google Maps lists sync to any device signed into the same Google account, so you can hop between phone, tablet, or laptop whenever you like.
