Arrived at Nihombashi Station but not sure which exit to use?
This area can be confusing for first-time visitors because Nihombashi Station, Mitsukoshimae Station, and Tokyo Station are all close to one another.
There is also a spelling detail that can be confusing:
- The railway station is officially written as Nihombashi Station
- The surrounding area and COREDO are commonly written as Nihonbashi
The best exit depends on your final destination.
Quick Answer
| Destination | Easy choice |
|---|---|
| COREDO Nihonbashi | Nihombashi Station → B12 Exit |
| Nihombashi Takashimaya | Nihombashi Station → follow signs for Takashimaya |
| Tokyo Station | Head toward the Yaesu side |
| Mitsukoshi / COREDO Muromachi | Mitsukoshimae Station may be more convenient |
If you are going to COREDO Nihonbashi, the easiest one to remember is:
COREDO Nihonbashi → B12 Exit
Going to COREDO Nihonbashi?
Use:

Going to Nihombashi Takashimaya?

Nihombashi Station or Mitsukoshimae Station?
These stations serve nearby but different parts of the Nihonbashi area.
A simple way to choose is:
COREDO Nihonbashi / Nihombashi Takashimaya
→ Nihombashi Station
Mitsukoshi / COREDO Muromachi
→ Mitsukoshimae Station may be more convenient
This is one of the reasons the area can be confusing:
A destination can have “Nihonbashi” in its name without Nihombashi Station always being the closest station.
Check the exact building before you travel.

Why Nihonbashi Can Be Confusing
The station itself is not as large as Shinjuku or Tokyo Station.
The confusing part is the combination of:
- many exits
- several railway lines
- underground passages
- nearby Tokyo Station
- nearby Mitsukoshimae Station
- several buildings and shopping complexes using the Nihonbashi name
There is also the spelling difference between Nihombashi Station and Nihonbashi used for the wider area.
Before leaving the ticket gate, check both the building name and the exit number.
Remember These Simple Choices
COREDO Nihonbashi → B12 Exit
Nihombashi Takashimaya → Follow Takashimaya signs
Tokyo Station → Yaesu side
Mitsukoshi / COREDO Muromachi → Consider Mitsukoshimae Station
You do not need to memorize every exit.
Just check your final destination before leaving the station.
