"Tokyo Station does hold the distinction of being the highest revenue-earning station in Japan, with ¥247m ($2.13m US) in ticket sales in 2005." This is ambiguous: if the units are correct (million of JPY), it must be the revenue per day. Or if it's for the full year 2005, if the figure of 247 is correct, then the unit has to be billion of JPY. In any event, clarification needed.
Which part of Japan Railways is the station owned - JR East or JR Tokai? Bigtop 08:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I viewed wikipedia a lot and see many different styles about japan train lines and train stations are used. Wouldn't it be wise to add everything in a XML file and generate a uniform layout from it ? I did some work already. It can be found at mobiletraveler xml file. I also wrote an application ussing this information. If people would help me to complete the XML file. I will take some effort to write a small application that can generate uniform HTML code from it so it can be used in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ron.verheij (talk • contribs) 11:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
I have noticed that this article gives passenger statistics for FY1913 whereas the station itself did not open until 1914. Is there a reason for this? Thank you in advance, JTST4RS (talk) 11:10, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I have noticed while looking at the station on google earth that platforms 1-2, and shinkansen platforms are about one level higher than the main platform level. should this be noted in the article? Also, i will change the section of the platform maps that says "ground level" to "main level", since there are actually no platforms at ground level. Bajor9 (talk) 15:23, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
The Chuo line platforms are indeed one level up, but the Shinkansen are only about 2-3m above the others, so you get a good view, but it's not a whole floor. Alex Sims (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Please note that the Yaesu part of Tokyo station is in Chuo-ku. Yaesu is a district within Chuo-ku. Please note this address: Yaesu Central Exit JR東京駅 八重洲中央口 1 Chome-10-1 Yaesu, Chūō, Tōkyō-to 103-0028 [3] 126.209.200.51 (talk) 17:26, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
The address itself I think should be reliable enough. If you zoom in, you'll see the Yaesu Underground Central Exit branches all the way into Yaesu, Chuo. This is the Chuo Tourist Office's guide to the Yaesu underground area: https://centraltokyo-tourism.com/en/spot/detail/100302021 126.209.206.205 (talk) 05:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
I do acknowledge that previous revisions of the page says "Maronouchi frontage" as the first image's description. I want a clarification to why the term "frontage" is used and why are people insisting that the term is more preferrable than "side", even if Tokyo station does indeed have two sides and no front?
