中央区观光协会特派员博客

在银座4丁目十字路口附近(三越前),外国人问我路。　　“JR车站在哪里?　我想乘坐成田快车(NEX)去成田机场第一航站楼”。我也正要坐山手线去,所以一起去了东京站。　　

暂且不说东京车站内到NEX乘坐点的移动很困难,突然想到的是,在4丁目十字路口那样的关键点上追加去机场的巴士和JR的标志向导的话会很方便。　　

我觉得中央区地图等的向导表示很充实,如果有外国人意识的版本增加的话会更方便吧?　

带您去的外国人出差来日本,好像要顺道去曼谷、斯德哥尔摩回国了。　

At Ginza 4-Chome crossing (Mitsukoshi front), a foreigner came close and asked me where JR station is. 　　He said " I want to go to JR station and head to Narita International Airport Terminal 1 by Narita Express (NEX)". 　I also was on my way to ride Yamanote Line, so I accompanied with him to Tokyo Station.　

Putting aside the difficulty to get to NEX platform in Tokyo Station, a certain idea came up to me all the sudden. 　

If there were a direction board showing the bus stop and JR station to airport at a famous spot like Gina 4-chome crossing, it would be so convenient to the foreign guests.　

I believe the information boards in Chuo-ward are alreday sufficiently placed, but if there were more boards focused on foreign guests, wouldn't it be so kind?　

The guest I walked along with came to Japan on a business trip and was on his way back home stopping over at Bangkok and Stockholm.

为了送行访问东京站的时候,在地下街发现了写着“Edo Tokyo Yaesu History”的柜台。　

On the way back from Tokyo Station, seeing a friend off, bumping into "Edo Tokyo Yaesu History" pictures' wall display in the underground shopping area was a lucky coincidence.

地点在八重洲地下街主大道,从外壕地下1号路进入JR东京站东口就到了。

The place is only few steps from Yaesu underground main avenue turing to Sotobori Chika 1st Street to the North Entrance.

在那里墙壁上装饰着说明了“八重洲”由来的板子、画、照片。　　江户时代的城郭都市图也装饰着,很有意思。　　　如果您有去雅蒂卡的话,请一定要来看看。

The display explains origin of the name "Yaesu" with instruction plate and pictures. There also is an old Edo Castle map which would surely interests you. So if you ever have a chance to visit Yaesu underground shopping area, the place is worth stopping over.
