TOFROM YAESU: Tokyo Station's New Food Tower, Reached Underground

Tokyo Station (東京駅) has a new place to eat, and you can reach it without stepping outside. TOFROM YAESU is a pair of new buildings on the Yaesu (八重洲) side of the station, joined to it through the underground shopping street. Tokyo Tatemono, one of the developers, says 68 shops will open across the two buildings, and most of them are restaurants.

The first building, TOFROM YAESU TOWER, opened its shops and restaurants on 10 September 2026, with 55 of them planned for the first day, from the basement to the fourth floor. The second phase of the highway bus terminal beneath it opened on 20 March 2026. The second building, THE FRONT, is opening in stages. Its first tenant, BERTH COFFEE, a roaster from east Tokyo, opened on 1 November.

What is open now

The basement has quick meals: a Komoro Soba buckwheat noodle shop, a ramen and tsukemen counter, a build-your-own salad bar and a Starbucks.

The ground floor mixes Japanese, Chinese and Western cooking. The official list includes:

• Kappo Shimamura, a kappo restaurant, where the cooking happens at the counter
• Gyukatsu Motomura, for gyukatsu, breaded and seared beef cutlet
• Ueno Bunraku, for yakitori
• TaiKouRou TOKYO, for Chinese
• Taniya TOKYO, for udon
• a Singaporean chicken-rice shop

Western options on the same floor include SHOKUDO PASTAVOLA, SHE WOLF DINER TOKYO, PAELLA&TAPAS LINDO and the modern French restaurant L’AS TOKYO. IMADEYA KAKU-UCHI TOKYO is listed as a kaku-uchi, a drinking counter run by a sake shop.

The second floor has the most restaurants. Part of it is a zone called YAESU Tokyokai (東京界), which the developer announced as 12 specialist restaurants; it includes the tempura restaurant Ten Yokota Ashita e, the kappo restaurant Yaesu Issai Kassai, a standing sushi counter, and places for unagi, oysters, oden, grilled fish, yakiniku and Korean seafood. Elsewhere on the floor are soba, sukiyaki, Italian, Indian and Chinese restaurants, and several izakaya and yakitori bars. The third floor has four more: a teppanyaki restaurant, a pasta restaurant, a Japanese restaurant and a yakitori restaurant.

Before you go

The official site has an English version, which is machine-translated, and its restaurant search can filter for shops that say they serve customers in English. Check it before you join a queue, not after.

Arriving by highway bus? The terminal is on the second basement floor of the tower. The Tokyo Tourist Information Center Yaesu is in the basement, by the bus terminal. For more places to eat in and around the station, see our Tokyo Station guide.

What comes next

Not everything on the official list is open yet. Tokyo Tatemono says the remaining shops will open in stages from winter 2026. Jiji & Baba, listed as a creative-cuisine restaurant, is due on the tower’s ground floor this winter. In the basement of THE FRONT, the official list shows Sushi Kizen opening in December 2026, and a mapo tofu noodle shop and a yakiton (grilled pork skewer) bar this winter. THE FRONT’s second-floor restaurants are due this winter and EDO TOKYO KIRARI in March 2027. These are the dates announced so far; we will update this report as each one opens.
