Hamamatsuchō Station - Minato City

I entered from the JR entrance to take monorail but couldn’t enter until I paid ¥140 for just entering from JR entrance? There was no sign on the entrance stating that this entrance would cost additional entrance fee and the station staff insisted me to go back to reenter if I don’t want to pay despite that I will be missing my train. This was not clear and not very friendly at all. Bad experience. Hope they will improve.

Superb all train station clean, tide, anything you need avaiable

One of the most crowded heavily congested-train stations in Tokyo. You can actually take the monorail to Haneda Airport from this station just transfer to the correct line. But nights mornings and most of the time crowded from people from all over Japan so you may get a clash of different personalities and cultures throughout Japan.

I only ever used the north exit, so I didn't see a lot of the station, but this was an awesome hub to operate out of for my trip. For a first-timer using a major railway system in any city in the world (at least independently -- NYC as a kid hardly counts), it was simple to figure out how everything worked in Hamamatsucho. There are only a few platforms, and the lines/destination are well-labeled, so it's really hard to screw things up. My concerns with this station are accessibility and safety. It is one of the few (at least, that I saw along the Yamanote) stations in Tokyo where there are no barriers between the platform and the tracks. This means when walking down the narrow platform areas (e.g. either side of the stairs), one misstep could send you onto the tracks. Or, some malicious person could push you onto the tracks -- highly unlikely, I imagine, but the thought does cross your mind when you're literally inches away from potential death. A lot of the times, you can walk far enough away from the edge of the platform to feel safe, but during peak hours, you will inevitably find yourself close to the edge or waiting a _very_ long time for crowds to pass so that you can walk closer to the inside. As for accessibility, I only saw the (smaller) north exit, as mentioned, which has no elevators or disabled-persons accessibility whatsoever. You would need to make your way to the south exit (I assume there are elevators or ramps there) which is quite a distance away from the north exit. This wasn't an issue for me, but bear in mind that while the north exit can be very efficient for able-bodied people, it is highly ill-prepared for people needing special assistance, so pick your hotel accordingly if you'd benefit from being closer to the south exit. Since everyone is mentioning Haneda, I want to mention that the station is convenient for Narita travelers. The station is 7 minutes away from Tokyo Station on multiple lines, which has the Narita Express, so you can easily get to and from Narita that way. I bought my NEX ticket from the limited express ticket machine outside the gates of the north exit.

This Station convenien to go Haneda airport. And have many restaurants .

This a great station for your base as a visitor to Tokyo. It is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel I stayed at. You can get pretty much anywhere from here. The morning and evening commute is opposite the crowds. The JY train is almost empty in the morning as almost everyone on the train gets off here.

You can transfer to tokyo monorail to haneda airport from this station, they have various restourant too

A bit confusing station. Monorail for Haneda Airport is on the first floor. No elevators makes it a biggest flaw. Get down into the subway from A-B and reach sightseeing places around tokyo.
