If you need Tokyo Pokémon GO coordinates that are actually worth the teleport, this page is built for this. We jumped to each candidate pin in-game, counted the PokéStops and Gyms in range, and kept eleven spots that cleared at least 400 combined POI—you'll see the exact numbers beside every coordinate below.

pokemon go tokyo coordinates guide with verified POI counts

Here's a quick verdict, if you want raid lobbies that fill quickly, start around Shinjuku Gyoen or Ikebukuro—the gym density there beats everything else on this list. If you want to grind items, Akihabara usually gives the most spins without hopping pins. And if you've never spoofed Tokyo before, Shibuya Crossing is the pin we'd suggest first: compact, easy to recognize on the map, and hard to land in the wrong block.

    Tokyo Pokemon GO Raid & PokéStop Routes We Tested

    These are the multi-pin sessions we used after the POI scan. Each jump

    These are the multi-pin sessions we used after the POI scan. Each jump

    Raid marathon

    1. Start: Shinjuku Gyoen — (84 Gyms)
    2. Then: Shinjuku Kabukicho — Wait ~30 sec after last action
    3. Then: Shinjuku Station East Exit — Wait ~30 sec
    4. Finish: Ikebukuro Sunshine City — Wait ~4 min (~5 km)
    Item grind

    Stop-farming triangle (central → east)

    Hits the three highest PokéStop counts. Use joystick movement at 4–8 km/h between pins instead of teleport-hopping block to block.

    1. Start: Akihabara — (556 stops)
    2. Then: Ueno Park — Wait ~2 min (~2 km)
    3. Finish: Kinshicho Station — Wait ~3 min (~4 km)
    East sweep

    3. Finish: Tokyo Skytree — Wait ~2 min (~2 km)

    Tokyo Pokemon GO Coordinates by Ward: What Each Pin Logged

    We grouped these pins by ward in this part. Each write-up below is what we logged in-game after jumping in—not a travel-guide blurb.

    West Tokyo Pokemon GO Coordinates: Shinjuku & Shibuya

    Shinjuku Gyoen

    Coordinates
    35.6914, 139.7002
    PokéStops 453
    Gyms 84

    Our scan logged 84 Gyms here, more than any other Tokyo pin on this page. Raid lobbies filled faster here on a Wednesday Raid Hour test than at Shibuya, even though Shibuya has more total POI nearby.

    Shinjuku Kabukicho

    Coordinates
    35.693840, 139.703549
    PokéStops 483
    Gyms 80

    Kabukicho sits about 400 m from Gyoen, so we jumped between the two pins with just a 30-second wait. We tested at night, and the foot traffic kept gyms turning over quickly.

    Shinjuku Station East Exit (Metro Promenade)

    Coordinates
    35.691230, 139.704140
    PokéStops 476
    Gyms 77

    This pin puts you on the covered walkway east of JR Shinjuku—not at Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, which sits about 9 km away. Stops here line the Metro Promenade (メトロプロムナード) from the station concourse to the department-store row.

    Shibuya Crossing

    Coordinates
    35.6595, 139.7006
    PokéStops 432
    Gyms 50

    Good first pin if you are new to Tokyo coordinates—the scramble crossing radius is compact and easy to joystick around. Total POI is mid-pack on this list, but the area is familiar enough that you will not land in the wrong block.

    Ikebukuro Tokyo Raid Coordinates

    Ikebukuro (Sunshine City)

    Coordinates
    35.72924, 139.71923
    PokéStops 499
    Gyms 79

    We counted 79 Gyms here on our scan, second only to Shinjuku Gyoen. Reddit players already recommend this pin for GO Fest raid trains; our test matched that: lobbies filled within a minute on a weekday evening.

    Central Tokyo Pokemon GO Coordinates: Akihabara, Tower & Roppongi

    Akihabara

    Coordinates
    35.6984, 139.7730
    PokéStops 556
    Gyms 48

    This is lead pin on our item-grind test: 556 stops in range, the highest on this page. We ran a Star Piece here during a Community Day replay and hit dense lure chains along the arcade rows without leaving the pin radius.

    Tokyo Tower

    Coordinates
    35.6586, 139.7454
    PokéStops 429
    Gyms 35

    Tokyo Tower is a landmark stop, not a farming anchor. We found 35 Gyms, fewer than the Shinjuku pins, but tourist footfall kept one 5-Star lobby active during our evening check.

    Roppongi

    Coordinates
    35.663648, 139.730871
    PokéStops 385
    Gyms 40

    Lowest POI on this page (425 total), but useful as a bridge between Shibuya and Tokyo Tower. We used it as a cooldown pit stop—~2 min from either pin—rather than a long session anchor.

    East Tokyo Pokemon GO Coordinates: Ueno, Kinshicho & Skytree

    Ueno Park

    Coordinates
    35.7156, 139.7750
    PokéStops 531
    Gyms 44

    531 stops in our scan—the most of any park pin we tested. We joystick-walked the museum-and-pond loop at ~5 km/h and stayed inside the dense stop ring without teleporting again.

    Kinshicho Station

    Coordinates
    35.6965, 139.8142
    PokéStops 428
    Gyms 44

    Less spoofing traffic than Ikebukuro in our tests. Solid 472 POI if you want an east-Tokyo session without the Shinjuku–Ikebukuro crowd.

    Tokyo Skytree

    Coordinates
    35.7101, 139.8107
    PokéStops 402
    Gyms 30

    Only 30 Gyms—the fewest on this list—but pairs with Kinshicho after a ~2 min hop. We used it as the last stop on the East Sweep route, not a standalone raid anchor.

    Tokyo Pokemon GO Cooldown Times Between Coordinates

    In this part, we will show the logged waits after spinning or catching at the first pin, then jumping to the second. Pokémon GO measures cooldown from your last location-confirming action. For the full distance chart, see our Pokémon GO cooldown time guide.

    Jump Distance Wait before spin / catch
    Shinjuku Gyoen → Kabukicho ~0.4 km 30 sec
    Shinjuku Gyoen → Shinjuku Station East Exit ~0.4 km 30 sec
    Akihabara → Ueno Park ~2 km 2 min
    Shibuya → Shinjuku Gyoen ~3.6 km 3 min
    Shinjuku Kabukicho → Ikebukuro ~4 km 3 min
    Tokyo Tower → Roppongi ~1.6 km 2 min
    Ueno Park → Kinshicho ~4 km 3 min
    Kinshicho → Tokyo Skytree ~2 km 2 min
    Shibuya → Ikebukuro ~7.8 km 5 min
    Los Angeles → Shibuya ~8,800 km 120 min
    PoKeep map interface with cooldown timer for Tokyo Pokémon GO coordinates

    When we ran the Raid Marathon route, the countdown timer stopped us from spinning at Kabukicho too soon. PoKeep Location Changer has a built-in cooldown timer, it tells you how long you should wait between hops, just paste your first pin, follow each hop, and wait for the timer before you spin again.

    How to Use Pokemon Go Tokyo Coordinates

    This is the workflow we followed during testing:

    Step 1. Paste a pin from the scoreboard into PoKeep and confirm the map marker matches the ward you expect—especially for 35.691230, 139.704140, which spawns at Shinjuku Station East Exit, not Asakusa.

    Step 2. Play the session at that pin. Count what you actually need—raid lobbies, stop density, walking room—before jumping again.

    Step 3. Check the jump ledger, wait out cooldown, then teleport to the next pin in your playbook.
