A Map of Roppongi For Emergencies

Being prepared is imperative to a good traveling experience. The possibility of sudden illness or injury, lost items and natural disasters is always present.
However, it can be difficult to locate police stations and hospitals when you are traveling, particularly in places where you have never been before. This time around, we have gathered information on public washrooms, police boxes, hospitals, and evacuation sites in the Roppongi area.
Details on each facility are located at the end of the article.

Nearby Public Restrooms

The area around the Roppongi station has several public restrooms, and among them are some Western-style toilets that are especially accessible to those with children or in a wheelchair.

The Kuwata Memorial Childrens' Amusement Park

Located 7 minutes from the Roppongi Station on the Oedo Line, this park has great facilities, including toilets designed for children.

Hinokicho Park Public Washrooms

Just 5 minutes from the Roppongi Station of the Oedo Line, it is located to the East of Tokyo midtown.

Evacuation Areas for Natural Disasters

It is recommended that you take cover at the designated evacuation areas when natural disasters, such as earthquakes, strike while you are in Japan.
However, there are times when it is safer to abide by the instructions of the store staff or the locals in the area. Remain calm, check your surroundings, and then head to the nearest evacuation site.

Evacuation Districts

The area encompassing Roppongi Hills, Keyakizaka and TV Asahi is designated by the city as a section where the buildings are especially resistant to fire and earthquakes, making them comparatively more secure than the surrounding evacuation sites. If you are already in the area, there is no need for evacuation. Just stay where you are and pay careful attention to your surroundings.

The Aoyama Cemetery Area

Address: Tokyo Minami-Aoyama 2-32-2(Aoyama Park)
If you find yourself to the north of Roppongi-dori, the Aoyama Cemetary is the nearest evacuation site. When evacuating from Roppongi, head to Aoyama Park, which also serves as a water supply station.
