CHIYODA

Chiyoda Tokyo - Chiyoda shopping,  gardens, Chiyoda parks, Chiyoda shrines, entertainment, Chiyoda pictures and Chiyoda Hotels. Tourism guide to Chiyoda Tokyo.

Tokyo's Chiyoda-ku (千代田) ward is the centre of the city and in many ways the centre of all Japan. A mere 12 km² houses the Imperial Palace, the Diet, the ministries of Toranomon, the corporate headquarters of Marunouchi, the controversial Yasukuni Shrine... and still has room left over for the shopping districts of Akihabara, Jimbocho and Kanda.

Getting to Chiyoda

Tokyo Station, the hub for Shinkansen bullet trains as well as the Narita Express to the Narita Airport, lies to the east side of Chiyoda. Many subway lines crisscross the district, of primary importance being the Metro Marunouchi line (to Shinjuku), the Metro Hanzomon line (to Shibuya), the Metro Hibiya line (to Roppongi) and the Metro Chiyoda line (to Harajuku).
