How to read this profile: it measures access to mapped destinations. It does not measure walking routes, crossings, pavements, slope, safety, accessibility, opening hours, or transit frequency. The scored area is a rectangle inferred from local place data. It is not an official city boundary.

Nearby infrastructure across Tokyo

86% of sampled points score 60 or more for nearby daily amenities. The model uses straight-line distance to groceries, food, transit, healthcare, education, parks, shopping, and entertainment.

What the result shows

Tokyo has strong amenity access across many sampled districts. Its scale means that station areas and lower-density edges can still produce different results.

Local planning context

Tokyo publishes guidance for pedestrian-centred street use. That work covers street design, while NearbyIndex covers only nearby destinations. Tokyo pedestrian-centred street guidance.

Important limit: The grid is not weighted by where people live. It also does not measure station access, crowding, or the quality of pedestrian connections.

Strongest categories

Healthcare (86), Education (84), Groceries (83)

Weakest categories

Shopping (45)

Scores range from 2 to 92 across neighborhoods — location matters a lot in this city.
